Electrolux EI30DD10KS Installation Instruction

- Lay out and cut the cooktop cut-out far enough 

forward so downdraft will fit behind it (refer to cooktop 

installation instructions).
- Set cooktop in place and slide it as far forward 

as possible. Center and square it with edges of 

countertop.

- If ducting will be connected to the back of the 

unit remove the plate from the back of the chassis.  

Remove the Transition Duct from the front of the 

chassis and mount to the back.  See page 12 for 

mounting the Transition Duct.
- Attach the plate removed from the rear of the chassis 

to the front.

- Place the template against the back flange of the 

cooktop and center it. Trace around template to mark 

the downdraft opening.
- Remove cooktop from countertop.
- Cut downdraft opening. Be careful not to chop edges 

of countertop. Mask the countertop to help prevent 

scratching the surface.
- A ½” minimum clearance behind cutout must be 

maintained behind the telescopic downdraft for proper 

installation.

Set downdraft into opening and position with the 

back of the unit contacting the back edge of the 

cutout.

Stabilizing brackets should be installed at the bottom 

of the vent housing and just below the bottom of the 

cooktop chassis.

One stabilizing bracket should be installed on each 

side of the vent housing. Remove the hex head 

screws from the bottom of the vent housing and 

use it to attach each bracket to the bottom of the 

housing. Slide the brackets to the back wall of the 

cabinet so that the vent housing is vertical, check the 

level of the vent on both the right and left sides, and 

tighten the screws. Attach the stabilizing brackets to 

the back wall using the appropriate screws for your 

cabinet material and thickness. These screws are 

not supplied with downdraft system.
The end of the stabilizing bracket may have to be 

bent down for transition duct clearance.

 Do not attach the upper bracket to the 

vent with screws, doing so may jam the vent.

Attach a stabilizing bracket to the left and right 

cabinet walls just below the bottom of the cooktop 

chassis. The long leg of the bracket must be in 

contact with the vent housing.

Remove screws 

from the chassis 

housing and re-

use to install the 

stabilizing brackets.

A ½” minimum 

clearance behind 

cutout must be 

maintained for 

proper installation.

Cabinet constructions may vary. Be sure to 

take cabinet frame members into account. They 

may have to be removed or relocated. Do not 

compromise the structural integrity of the cabinet 

in doing so.
