PLAN THE INSTALLATION

Select ducting option

The 6 basic discharge connections, left, right, rear, front, down and
recirculation can be achieved through A to G with the optional parts listed.
1. The downdraft blower system is designed for use with 8" (203 mm)
round ductwork using a fl exible blower or 6" (152 mm) round ductwork
using an inline or remote blower. (Purchase blowers separately.):
Seven (7) different discharge connections are available - A to G, below:
A = 8" (203 mm) Round, Left Discharge out of Flex Blower
B = 8" (203 mm) Round, Right Discharge out of Flex Blower
C = 8" (203 mm) Round, Down Discharge out of Flex Blower (Electrical
Panel to be mounted remotely)
D = 1-7/8" x 19" (48 mm x 483 mm), Left Discharge out of Housing to
Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location. Use 1-7/8" x 19"
(48 mm x 483 mm) to 6" (152 mm) or 8" (203 mm) round transition
or 1-7/8" x 19" (48 mm x 483 mm) ductwork as appropriate.
E = 1-7/8" x 19" (48 mm x 483 mm), Right Discharge out of Housing to
Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location. Use 1-7/8" x 19"
(48 mm x 483 mm) to 6" (152 mm) or 8" (203 mm) round transition or
1-7/8" x 19" (48 mm x 483 mm) ductwork as appropriate.
F = 1-7/8" x 19" (48 mm x 483 mm), Rear Discharge out of Housing to
Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location. Use 1-7/8" x 19"
(48 mm x 483 mm) to 6" (152 mm) or 8" (203 mm) round transition or
1-7/8" x 19" (48 mm x 483 mm) ductwork as appropriate.
G = 1-7/8" x 19" (48 mm x 483 mm), Down Discharge out of Housing to
Remote Blower or Flex Blower in remote location. Use 1-7/8" x 19"
(48 mm x 483 mm) to 6" (152 mm) or 8" (203 mm) round transition or
1-7/8" x 19" (48 mm x 483 mm) ductwork as appropriate.
2. For best performance: Choose the ducting option which allows the
shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of elbows and
transitions. Check location of fl oor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring
or plumbing for possible interference.
NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for performance complaints
attributable to the duct section.
The device achieves its optimum performance by means of a short,
•
straight exhaust air duct and as large a pipe diameter as possible.
The optimum extraction performance is not achieved and fan noise is
•
increased if exhaust air ducts are long and rough and if there is a large
number of duct bends or diameters less than 6".
The pipes or hoses for laying the exhaust air line must consist of non-
•
combustible material.
Seal the connection points of the ducts appropriately.
•
Ductwork must vent outside, not into attic spaces for example, unless
•
the available 'Non-duct Recirculation Kit' is used.

Ductwork preparation

DUCTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Proper performance is dependent upon proper ducting.
MAKE-UP AIR: Local building codes may require the use
of make-up air systems when using ducted ventilation
systems greater than specifi ed CFM of air movement.
The specifi ed CFM varies from locale to locale. It is the
responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if
additional requirements and/or standards apply to specifi c
installations.
DO NOT USE FLEXIBLE DUCT; it creates back pressure/
air turbulence and reduces performance.
Always install a metal vent cover where the ductwork
exits the house.
COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional
backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold
air fl ow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize
conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
ductwork.
The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal
break. The break should be as close as possible to where
the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
For safety reasons, ducting should vent directly outdoors
(not into an attic, underneath the house, into the garage
or into any enclosed space). In gas cooking application,
the unit cannot be used in conjunction with a recirculation
unit.
BOSCH ® recommends not exceeding 50 ft. (15 m) of
equivalent duct.

Plan cabinetry

For left, right, or rear exhaust:
Allow at least 18" (457 mm) for transition and elbow or
blower.
For left / right exhaust:
A 30" (762 mm) deep cabinet is recommended to align
properly with fl ex blower. Flex blower can be mounted to
rear cabinet wall or to a platform / frame (not provided)
on the base of the cabinet fl oor. (See fl ex blower
instructions.)
Cabinet depths of 24" (610 mm) to 30" (762 mm) are
required - depending on the type of cooking appliance.
For some applications, gas or electrical connections will
need to be moved or routed around downdraft unit.
For gas cooktop installations make sure that a minimum
27 square inch (174 cm²) opening is provided in the
toe-kick and cabinet base. Inadequate ventilation of the
cabinet below the cooktop may result in fl ame outage
when operating the fan on higher speeds.
NOTE: A cooktop sealing kit must be purchased for gas
applications. The kit includes hole covers for the toe-kick
and cabinet base, as well a a trim seal for the cooktop.
