NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates 
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce 
performance.
Determine Range Blower Setting
This cooktop is equipped with a dual range blower. It is shipped 
from the factory in the low range for most installations. If the 
equivalent duct length exceeds 30 ft (9.1 m), it must be converted 
to high range. Do not convert the blower to high range for shorter 
lengths; this will cause excessive noise and conditioned air loss. 
Convert blower before installing into countertop if necessary.
To Convert to High Range:
1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop on floor with front 
edge and plenum down.
2. Remove the four acorn nuts (A) that attach the blower motor 
assembly to the blower exhaust scroll.
3. Remove the blower motor assembly (B) from the blower 
exhaust scroll (E).
4. Slowly reach in the blower exhaust scroll opening and 
remove the snap ring (C).
5. Gently remove the restrictor ring (D).
6. Place the motor assembly back on the studs of the blower 
exhaust scroll.
7. Reattach the four acorn nuts to secure the blower motor 
assembly back to the blower exhaust scroll.
Electrical Requirements 
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is 
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that 
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local 
codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the 
cooktop is properly grounded.
