A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only
electrical
supply is required
on a separate
15ampere
circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A
time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker
is
recommended.
The fuse must be sized per
local codes in accordance
with the
electrical
rating of the appliance
specified
on the model/serial
rating plate located
on
the front of the downdraft
vent above
the
wiring box cover.

This downdraft
vent should be
connected
directly
to the fused disconnect
(or circuit
breaker)
through
flexible,
armored
or non-metallic
sheathed,
copper
cable.
Allow some slack in the cable
so the
downdraft
vent can be moved
if servicing
is
ever necessary.
E

Do Not terminate
the ductwork
in an attic
or other enclosed
space.
Do Not use 4" laundry-type
wall caps.

each
foot of flexible metal ductwork
as two feet
of straight metal ductwork.
Flexible metal
elbows count twice as much as standard
elbows.
NOTE: Make sure there is proper clearance
within the wall or floor exhaust duct before
making cutouts,
