Installation Specifications

Planning the Installationz
General System Layout
The vent system consists of the downdraft vent and a Dacor-approved cabinet blower (MRV3015 and MRV3615), remote blower, or in-line blower. (See Pg. 7).

WARNING

  • Failure to install an approved blower and proper duct-ing will cause a backdraft and poor venting.
  • To reduce risk of personal injury from reaching over a hot appliance, avoid cabinet storage directly above the cooking surface.
  • Follow minimum clearances and installation location in the vent, appliance, and blower instructions. Failure to do so may cause a fire or safety hazard.
  • Plan the installation so minimum dimensions are met or exceeded. All contact surfaces between the downdraft vent and cabinets/walls must be solid and at right angles.
  • The downdraft vent has adjustable anchor legs to accom-modate various cabinet heights.
  • Install the downdraft vent and range/cooktop so they can be removed for service.
  • Allow access from the cabinet front to the chassis, and utilities of the downdraft vent and cooktop for inspection and service. (Drawers/shelves must be removable.)
  • There are 7/8” access holes in the bottom and side of the downdraft vent for connecting blower wiring and strain relief. Wire the blower to turn on when the downdraft vent is turned on. When installing a remote or in-line blower, run the blower wiring/conduit parallel to the duct work, connecting it to the downdraft vent on one end and the blower on the other.
  • Allow room for the exhaust duct coming out of the unit.(See Planning the Duct Work, Pg. 8, for details.) Consider the maximum-allowable duct run when decid-ing the layout. (See Planning the Duct Work, Pg. 8, for details.)
  • See the range/cooktop installation instructions for mini-mum cutout dimensions specific to the downdraft vent being installed.

WARNING

  • To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, duct air outdoors, not into any interior spaces or garages.
  • TO REDUCE FIRE RISK, USE ONLY METAL DUCTING.
  • DO NOT install multiple blowers to lengthen the duct run. Even small differences between blower airflow rates can greatly reduce the downdraft vent’s air draw.

Building codes may require makeup air systems with ven-tilation systems that move air greater than the specified movement rate (CFM). Consult a qualified HVAC specialist when designing the system for the requirements in your area and to assure optimal performance.
You must install a Dacor blower for the downdraft vent to operate properly. See the blower installation instructions for directions. For model CABP3, see the instructions later in this manual.

See blower installation instructions for actual ratings.

For installations with CABP3 blowers

  • Installation requires Dacor adapter kit # AERVCAB.
  • The blower assembly is mounted to the front of the down-draft vent with the exhaust pointing in the desired direc-tion. (See Pg. 10.)
  • The CABP3 blower output connects directly to 3¼ x 10 rectangular ducting.

Installations with ILHSF-/REMP-series blowers

  • The downdraft vent can be configured to exhaust through the back/bottom/sides by removing the proper exhaust knock-out. (See Pg. 9.)
  • When installing an ILHSF blower, minimize noise by installing it as close as possible to the duct-system exhaust. (Minimum recommended distance from the downdraft vent is 5 feet.)
  • When connecting the duct work to the back of the unit, the customer must supply a 3¼ x 10 rectangular transi-tion to make the connection.
  • For side/bottom exhaust connections, use the supplied transition to connect the duct work to the unit. It transi-tions between the unit’s 15/8 x 16 exhaust outlet and a 3¼ x 10 rectangular duct
  • connection. On bottom exhaust installations, cut a hole in the floor so the transition and/or duct work can pass through the floor. (See Pg. 13).

On side exhaust installations, allow 5 in. on the side for the 2 x 16 to 3 ¼ x 10 transition, plus space for the duct attached to it (X).

Installation Specifications

  • Vertical center line of rear exhaust knock out lines up with vertical center line of chassis
  • Bottom Exhaust Knock Out (1 5/8 x 16)
  • On 46” and 48” wide models, the vertical center line of bottom knock- out lines up with vertical center line of chassis
  • On 30” and 36” wide models, the vertical center line of bottom knock- out is offset 3”
  • Side Exhaust Knock Outs (1 5/8 x 16)

Exhaust Knock-out Locations for Use with REMP- and ILHSF-Series Blowers

Duct installation requirements for all blowers

  • All duct work (including screws and duct tape) shall be purchased by the customer.
  • In planning new duct work, always look for the shortest, most direct route to the outside. (See Pg. 7.)
  • You can increase duct size over the duct run if desired. To prevent backdraft, never decrease duct size.
  • Do not rely on duct tape alone to seal joints. Fasten all connections with sheet-metal screws, then tape all joints with certified silver tape or duct tape.
  • Use sheet-metal screws as needed to support the ducting.
  • To avoid backdraft, the duct outlet may required a damper.
  • Ensure duct work does not interfere with joists or studs.
  • With concrete slab construction, “box in” the duct work and blower wiring to prevent crushing or other damage when concrete is poured.
  • Cross-drafts or air currents from adjacent open windows or doors, heating-/air-conditioning outlets, ceiling fans, and recessed ceiling lights reduce vent efficiency.
  • System exhaust location (Pg. 8) must account for snow buildup where applicable.

MRV3615 9 3/4” (24.8 cm) 8” (20.3 cm) 4 1/4” (10.8 cm)

Calculating Maximum Duct Run Length

  • For best performance, consult a qualified HVAC specialist when designing the duct system.
  • Do not use duct work that is smaller than the required sizes in the tables below.
  • For best performance, keep the duct run as short as pos-sible, and never exceed the maximums in the table in the Duct Work Design Tips section.
  • The max. duct length for the downdraft vent depends on the blower used, and number of elbows and transitions. The Equivalent Number of Feet for each elbow and transition must be subtracted from the maximum straight length to compensate for wind resistance. To decide the maximum allowable length of the ducting, subtract all equivalent lengths of the elbows and transitions listed below from the Blower Maximum Duct Straight Length. Example: For a downdraft vent system using a 3¼ x 10 rectangular duct, two (2) 3¼ x 10 90° elbows, a 3¼ x 10” rectangular to 10” round transition, and a

REMP16 remote blower

  • From the Blower Maximum Duct Straight Length table, the max length without transitions and elbows is 60 ft.
  • The equivalent length of each 90° elbow is 15 ft.
  • The equivalent length of 45° elbow is 2 ft.
  • The equivalent length of the transition is 4 ft.
  • The total equivalent length of the above parts is : 15 ft + 15 ft + 4 ft + 2 ft = 36 ft.
  • The max amount of straight duct that can be used with a REMP16 and the above parts is: 60 ft – 34 ft = 24 ft.

Equivalent Number of Feet (Nominal) – Duct Elbows and Transitions

45° elbow/8”| 3 ft| 3¼ x 10/45° elbow| 7 ft
45° elbow/10”| 2 ft| 3¼ x 10/90° elbow| 15 ft
90° elbow/8”| 7 ft| 3¼ x 10/90° flat elbow| 20 ft
90° elbow/10”| 5 ft| 3¼ x 10 to

8” round transition

| 4 ft
90° 3 ¼ x 10 to

8” round transition

| 25 ft| 3¼ x 10 to

10” round transition

| 4 ft
Roof cap| *| Wall cap|
Equivalent lengths of roof and wall caps vary with model and configuration. For equivalent length, contact the manufacturer or a qualified HVAC specialist;
Not applicable to REMP blowers.

Duct Work Design Tips

  • Reduce transitions and turns to the fewest sharp angles. Two staggered 45° angles are better than one 90°. Keep turns as far from the hood exhaust as possible, with the most possible space between each bend.
  • For best performance, use round ducting when possible, especially when elbows are required.
  • If multiple elbows are used, try to keep a minimum of 24” of straight duct between them. Avoid “S” or “back to back” configurations of adjacent elbows.
  • Do not use flexible metal ducting.
Blower Blower Maximum Duct Straight Length
8” Duct 10” Duct
CABP3 40 ft (12.2 m)
ILHSF8 50 ft (15.2 m)
ILHSF10 60 ft (18.3 m)
