INSTALLATION PLANNING
A qualified technician must complete the installation of this appliance. Proper
installation is your responsibility.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the
flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by he national Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American
Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities.
Plan the installation so that all required minimum clearances between the cooktop,
overhead cabinets and adjacent vertical walls are provided. Refer to the cooktop/
range installation instructions for the minimum dimensions specific to the particular
appliance being installed.
The vent system is designed to remove the contaminants and by-products that
result when cooking with gas or electric appliances. The vent system consists of
the vent intake along with a remote blower. The raised vent downdraft systems are
compatible for use with select cooktops and ranges, therefore, these instructions
offer specific guidelines for mounting the raised vents behind cooktops and ranges.
Make sure that you have everything needed to complete the installation
before proceeding.
