Countertop Cutout Dimensions

IMPORTANT: Countertops with a bull-nosed front edge are not rec-
ommended for these installations.
Some models require a countertop deeper than 25" (63.5 cm); see the
following "Countertop Cutout Dimensions Chart."
To avoid mistakes, it is recommended that the cooktop and vent
cutouts be drawn on the countertop before making any cutouts.
See the Installation Instructions that came with your cooktop for com-
plete cutout dimensions, location dimensions and installation
details.
NOTE: In order to avoid any possible whistle problem, it is recom-
mended to keep at minimum the distance between the cooktop and
the downdraft vent (J). It is recommended a sealer application in that
area.

Venting Requirements

IMPORTANT: Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall
or floor before making exhaust vent cutouts.
•
Use heavy (rigid) metal vent.
•
Venting system must terminate to the outside.
•
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
•
Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
•
Do not install 2 elbows together.
•
Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
•
The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
•
Use no more than three 90° elbows
•
Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent
between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
•
Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
•
Use caulking tape to seal the exterior wall or floor opening
around cap.
•
Do not cut joist or stud. If vent cutout falls over a joist or stud,
a supporting frame must be constructed.
•
Flexible metal vent is not recommended. If it is used, calculate
each foot of flexible vent as 2 ft (0.6 m) of rigid metal vent.
Flexible elbows count twice as much as standard elbows.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to
minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent
system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal
break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air
movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your
area.
