6 PREPARE FOR DUCTWORK
NOTE: Ductwork MUST be vented outside. DO NOT
vent into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or any
concealed space.
Determine the best route for ductwork; it can
be routed in a variety of ways depending on
the kitchen layout.
IMPORTANT: The downdraft air discharge outlet
for this unit is 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular. Plan ducting
accordingly.

7 BLOWER TO DUCTWORK
ALIGNMENT
In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged
because it can cause severely restricted airflow. However,
if the blower outlet and the floor or wall duct location do
NOT align well, then flexible METAL ducting can be used
to adapt to an offset. Good alignment without use of
flexible ducting is best.
NOTE:
Do not exceed the maximum recommended offset
of 6".
Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.
Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible
to eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible.
