INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Starting Installation Check the
Following Requirements
This downdraft blower system is designed to be
used to exhaust smoke and odors when cooking
with all GE electric and sealed burner gas
cooktops (not approved for standard burner gas
cooktops). It can be mounted in either an island
or peninsula location.
Requirements for an approved installation

″
minimum cabinet depth
• 26

minimum from the back of the downdraft
to the front of the countertop, with

• Plan the placement of the electrical outlet box
carefully. It should NOT be installed on the back
wall of the cabinet because it may interfere with
the downdraft. It should be installed on a side
wall or adjacent cabinet. Make sure it is within
reach of the unit’s 2 ft. long power cord and
conforms to all local codes.
Install a standard wiring box with a 3-pronged
outlet.
• Plan the location of the gas supply pipe (for
gas cooktops) carefully to avoid interference
with the downdraft installation.
