Installation review
This downdraft system can be used to exhaust cooking by-products
such as heat, steam, and smoke that may be created while cooking
using gas or electric cooktops. With its versatile design, there are six (6)
basic discharge options - left, right, rear, below, front and recirculation.
It is important to i rst plan your installation. The purchase of additional
accessories to complete the installation may be necessary.
It can be mounted in an island, peninsula, or conventional wall location.
The blower (purchase separately) and electrical panel can be mounted to
the downdraft unit, inside the cabinet, or in a convenient remote location.
This unit can be easily installed following these basic steps:
Plan the installation.
•

•
