2. Feed the power supply cable through the conduit connector 

and into the terminal box.

3. Connect the green (or green/yellow) ground wire to the green 

or yellow/green ground wire using UL listed wire connectors. 
Tighten the screw on the conduit connector.

4. Connect the 2 white wires together using UL listed wire 

connectors.

 

5. Connect the 2 black wires together using UL listed wire 

connectors.

6. Replace the terminal box cover and secure with screw.

7. Reconnect power.

1. Push and hold the button on the top of the downdraft vent for 

a few seconds. The retractable section of the downdraft vent 
will rise, and the blower will start. Position the top trim over 
the retractable section and snap trim into place.

Trim kits for matching your cooktop color are available from 
your dealer.

For information on ordering, see the “Assistance or Service” 
section.

2. Slide the control slider on the side of vent to check the 

operation and speed of the blower.

3. If the blower does not operate:

■

Check that filter or filters are pressed in as far as they will 
go.

■

Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped or a 
household fuse blown.

4. Connect vent system to blower. Vent system must end with a 

wall or roof cap. Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints.

5. Install cooktop according to manufacturer’s instructions. 

Check that rear of cooktop overlaps edge of retractable 
downdraft vent by 

³⁄₈" (9.5 mm). See “Countertop Cutout 

Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section.

NOTE: To get the most efficient use from your new retractable 
downdraft vent, read the “Vent System Use” section.

The retractable downdraft vent system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area.

■

For best results, the vent should be operating before cooking 
is started. 

■

If you use large or tall utensils, place them on the large rear 
element or burner surface. 

■

A higher heat setting than normally used may be needed 
when the downdraft vent is operating.

■

For gas cooktops, the downdraft vent system may affect the 
flame stability and cooking performance. To improve the 
burner performance, either decrease the downdraft vent 
blower speed or increase the cooktop burner flame setting.

■

For gas cooktops with flame sensing ignitions, the downdraft 
vent system may disperse the flame away from the spark 
igniter and may cause it to continually spark while trying to 
reignite a burner that is already lit. To resolve the issue of the 
cooktop igniter continuously sparking, either decrease the 
downdraft vent blower speed or increase the cooktop flame 
setting for that burner.
