Cooking Tips

The high air movement of this downdra/'tsystem can increase the cooking times forsome fbods. It may take longer m reachhigh cooking temperatures if tile downdra/'tis turned to high right away. Adjust tile fanspeed for best cooking resuhs.

For best results when heating oil for deepfining or when boiling water, use tile frontsurface units or ,a_t until the water is

boiling or tile oil is at frying temperaturesbefore turning on the downd_t.

Thedown&aftmaynotcompletelycaptureall thesteamfrompansonthe frontburners.

Canning

When canning fbods in a water-bath canner,a genre but steady boil must be maintainedcontinuously for the required time.

When canning foods in a pressure cannerthe pressure must be maintainedcontinuously for the required time.

Use of the blower at HIGH speed whencanning may reduce the temperatureenough to stop boiling. While canning,we recommend using the downdraft atLOW speed and using the front surface unit.

Care and cleaning of the downdraftsystem.Grease Filters

The efficiency of your downdra/'t dependson a clean filter. Frequency of cleaningdepends on the type of"cooking you do.Grease filters should be cleaned at least

once a month. Never operate the downd_twithout the filters in place.

TOremove:Pull the filters out by graspingthem and pulling straight up.

TOclean:Soak and then agitate in a hotdetergent solution. Light brushing may

be used to remove embedded soil. Rinse,shake and remove moisture before

replacing.

Filters may also be cleaned in thedishwasher.

With careflfl handling, the filter will last foryears, ff replacement becomes necessalT,order the part from your dealer.

&WARNING!INSTALLATION SAFETYINSTRUCTIONSTO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICSHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVETHE FOLLOWING:

[] Installation work and electric wiringmust be done by qualified person(s)in accordance with all applicable codesand standards, including fire-ratedconstruction.

[] Ducted fans must always be vented tothe outdoors.

[] When cutting or drilling into wall orceiling, do not damage electrical wiringand other hidden utilities.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of

fire, use only metal ductwork.

IMPORTANT: These vents arerecommended for island installations.

Against-the-wall installations arelimited due to countertop depthrequirements. The vent and cooktopcombined depth requires an extradeep flat countertop surface.

The countertop must be at least 26" deepwith a flat surface area of 231/2" or more, frontto back. (NOTE: JGP932S, JP350SC, JP930SCand JP938SC require 23%" flat surface area.)In addition, other clearances to the frontedge of the countertop must be considered.

• See specific cutout illustrations with yourcooktop model to determine requirements.

• A countertop witha raised lip or rolledfront edge may notallow enough flatarea for installation.

ADVANCE PLANNING

CLEARANCES

• Installation must conform with local codes.

• The downdraft system with blower, motorand duct work will occupy the cabinetbelow the countertop and cooktop.

• The blower/motor assembly can be locatedbelow the cabinet floor. The assembly willfit between 16" floor joists.

In this installation a transition to 6" round

is required.

• The blower motor assembly can also beinstalled outdoors. Order JXBC67 forremote blower installations outdoors.

• Refer to Dimensions and Clearances for

information on appropriate placementand necessary clearances when planninginstallation.

• Refer to your specific cooktop installationinstruction for other appropriate clearances.

• Avoid placing cabinetry directly above thecooking surface when possible.

• If cabinetry is used above the cookingsurface:

Installation must conform with local codes.

Use cabinets no more than 13" deep.

Maintain 30" minimum clearance between

cooktop and unprotected cabinets directlyabove cooktop.

If clearance is less than 30;' protect cabinetbottoms with flame-retardant millboard at

least 1/4" thick or gypsum board at least3/16" thick covered with 28 gauge sheetsteel or .02" thick copper.

Clearance between cooktop and protectedcabinetry must not be less than 24':

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed

microwave oven or cooking appliance overthe cooktop shall conform to the installationinstructions packed with that appliance.

• Working areas adjacent to the cooktopshould maintain 18" minimum clearance

between countertop and cabinet bottom.

DUCTWORK

Prepare ductwork to vent to the outdoors.

• Use the shortest and straightest duct runpossible.

The maximum permissible length for ductrun is 150 feet.

Refer to Duct Fittings chart to calculateequivalent length for various ductconfigurations.

• The downdraft blower system is designedto use 31/4" x 10" ductwork. It can betransitioned to 6" round.

• Ductwork MUST be vented to the outside i

never into a crawl space, attic or otherenclosed space.

Determine the need for a wall cap or roofcap. Purchase the cap in advance fromyour home building center or plumbingsupply.

COOKTOP ELECTRICAL ANDGAS LOCATION

Plan the placement of the electrical outletand gas (if used) carefully. Gas or electricaloutlets cannot be placed on the back wall ofthe cabinet because it may interfere with thedowndraft plenum.

Install a standard electrical outlet withinreach of the vents' 2 foot long power cord.

• The vent and a gas cooktop combinationcan operate from the same 120V standardduplex outlet.

• Electric cooktops must operate froma separate 240V junction box.

REMOTE SWITCH(for 36" models only)

The downdraft vent has a separateraise/lower switch. Plan to install the switchin a convenient location outside of thevent/cooktop cutout.

INSTALLATION POSSIBILITIES

When the kitchen design calls for an againstthe wall installation, move 24" deep basecabinet forward, 3" to 5'.' Filler panels canbe angled or flat to fill the space betweenadjacent cabinets.

Maintain cutout clearances to front edge as specified.

[] Secure the downdraft to the countertopsupplied brackets. See illustration.

[] Fasten 2 brackets to vent side and secureto cabinet back wall.

[] Install 2 brackets on the bottom of thevent. Attach brackets to slide screws on

the vent and to the floor using woodscrews (not supplied).

When installing in a tile countertopsurface, it may be necessary to applya locally approved caulking to coverany gaps.

[] INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

Use minimum 26" gauge galvanized or24 gauge aluminum duct 31/4" x 10" or6" round. PVC duct should be used if

[] CONNECT THE POWER

Plug power cord into a properly groundedreceptacle.

INSTALL THE COOKTOP

• With the downdraft in the "down" position,place the cooktop into the cutout.

• Push the cooktop back until the back edgeof the cooktop just barely touches the frontedge of the downdraft cover.

• Using a dime as a thickness gauge, alignthe cooktop so that there is a minimumuniform gap of 0.05" (the thickness ofa dime) between the cooktop and thedowndraft cover.

NOTE: Do not force the downdraft cover to

move rearward when aligning the cooktop.This may cause the downdraft cover toimpact and damage the cooktop when thevent is raised and lowered.

NOTES:

• Accurate alignment of cooktop anddowndraft is necessary to ensure that thereis no interference when air vent is raised

and lowered. There should be a gap of0.05" (the thickness of a dime) between theback edge of the cooktop and the frontedge of the downdraft cover.

• Radiant cooktop cannot be flush mountedwhen using this downdraft vent.
