PLAN THE WIRING
Interior Blower Installation Exterior Blower Installation
1. The Exterior Downdraft Blower system draws 6 AMPS and
requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz circuit.
2. The unit has a 18 in. long power cord with a 3-pronged plug.
Plan to provide a grounded outlet in a location which will allow
the unit’s power cord to reach.
IMPORTANT - LOCATION OF ELECTRICAL OUTLET:
If Model RMDD3004EX is being installed in a 30" wide
cabinet...
or Model RMDD3604EX is being installed in a 36"
wide cabinet...
or Model RMDD4804EX is being installed in a 48"
wide cabinet...
...the outlet cannot be located on the back wall
of cabinet.
In these cases, the width of the downdraft covers nearly the
entire width of the back wall of the cabinet. So you must
either:
• mount the electrical box to a side wall or cabinet floor
- at least 12 inches from the back wall.
• mount the electrical box to a wall stud behind the
cabinet - where it will not be covered by the downdraft.
Then provide a clearance hole in the back wall of the
cabinet.
