Remote Switch
The 30" and 36" Monogram models and the 36"
Profile model have a separate raise/lower switch.
Plan to install the switch in a convenient location
outside of the vent/cooktop cutout.
Downdraft Vent and cooktop cutout
The installation of these downdraft vents with
any GE or Monogram cooktop requires careful
consideration. Before you begin, review the
combination cutout illustrations on page 6.
countertop Requirements
The countertop must have a deep flat surface
to accommodate the cooktop and the vent.
Countertops with a rolled front edge and backsplash
may not provide the flat surface area required.
base cabinet Requirements
The base cabinet must be deep enough to
accommodate the minimum clearance to the front
of the countertop, the cooktop burner box
and the vent.
before you begin, you must:
1. Review countertop dimension illustrations to
be sure you will have enough flat countertop
surface.
2. Check to be sure that the total countertop depth
required (including minimum cutout to front edge
depth) allows enough space for a backsplash.
3. Review the cabinet illustration. Check to be sure
the interior cabinet depth will house the cooktop
burner box, the vent and the cutout clearance
from the front.
4. When countertop and cabinet depth present
a problem, review Creative Solutions.
5. Read this book completely to accurately plan
the installation location, clearances and
ductwork requirements.
With careful planning, you can achieve a custom
look with minimal adjustments.
creative Solutions
• When the kitchen design calls for an against-
the-wall installation, move the base cabinet
forward 3" to 5". Filler panels or complementary
moldings can be added to exposed cabinet sides.
• In an island or peninsula, use an extra-deep
countertop. The countertop overhang at the
front can be adjusted to meet setback to cutout
requirements.
• When the cutout to the front edge of the
countertop requirement is more than 2", add
a bullnose trim to the front edge of the
countertop. Include the trim thickness when
measuring the front edge to cutout requirement.
By adding the trim, the cooktop can be moved
forward, providing additional countertop depth
and interior cabinet space.
