Rules
Joiner strips and end caps are included to
provide a finished look to any modular
cooktop arrangement.
• Consider base cabinet storage arrangements
to accommodate the downdraft blower/
motor assembly.
– The downdraft plenum assembly will occupy
the cabinet below the cooktop. Drawers
cannot be installed below the downdraft
vent or downdraft grill components. The
blower may be installed in the cabinet or
located downstream from the plenum in
the duct run.
– Shorter length drawers may be installed
below gas components, allowing for gas
inlet clearance.
• Do not cut holes for ductwork locations until
components are on-site, with countertop in
place, and all pre-planned locations are
confirmed.
• Multiple gas and electric components can be
combined to form one custom cooking
arrangement.
– Multiple electric components can operate
from a single junction box, if local codes
permit.
– Multiple gas components can operate from
a manifold, as permitted by local codes.
• Updraft components can be vented
according to normal exhausting methods.
• The downdraft vent and grill blower assembly
may be vented downwards to the left or right
sides or through the floor. See page 11.
• Never vent a cooktop into an interior space -
always to the outdoors.
• The updraft grill requires an overhead vent
with at least 300 CFM.
• DO NOT install an updraft grill component
next to a downdraft vent.
