Circuit Requirement

The downdraft vents require a three-prong electrical outlet
connected to 120 Vac, 60 Hz, and a dedicated circuit. The circuit
should be grounded and have a capacity of 15 Amp.

Important Notes

  • The maximum installed height of the downdraft vents should not
    exceed the maximum specified countertop height of the cooking
    appliance.

  • Only install these downdraft vents with approved Dacor
    appliances. Refer to the planning guide for the specific appliance
    for proper applications and cutout information.

  • The downdraft vents must be installed in conjunction with a
    single Dacor approved blower. Refer to page 4/7 of the user manual
    for a list of approved blowers.

  • Consult a qualified HVAC specialist to ensure compliance with
    local building codes and optimal performance, especially regarding
    the use of makeup air systems.

All specifications are subject to change without notice.

  1. Before installation, carefully read and understand the provided
    installation instructions.

  2. Comply with all governing codes and ordinances during planning
    and installation. Contact your local building department for
    further information.

  3. Install the downdraft vents only with approved Dacor
    appliances. Refer to the planning guide for the specific appliance
    for proper applications and cutout information.

  4. Ensure that the maximum installed height of the downdraft vents
    does not exceed the maximum specified countertop height of the
    cooking appliance.

  5. Install the downdraft vents in conjunction with a single Dacor
    approved blower. Refer to page 4/7 of the user manual for a list of
    approved blowers.

  6. Connect the downdraft vents to a three-prong electrical outlet
    that is connected to 120 Vac, 60 Hz, and has a capacity of 15 Amp.
    The circuit should be grounded and dedicated to the vent.

  7. If required by local building codes, consult a qualified HVAC
    specialist to determine the need for makeup air systems and design
    the system accordingly for optimal performance.

For any further assistance or information, refer to the provided
user manual or contact Dacor customer service.

GUIDE

Duct work Design Considerations
For optimal performance, consult a qualified HVAC specialist when designing the duct system.
All duct work materials (including screws and duct tape) must be purchased separately by the customer.
Cross-drafts or air currents from adjacent open windows or doors, heating/air conditioning outlets, ceiling fans and recessed ceiling lights reduce vent efficiency.
When planning the cabinet layout, allow room for the exhaust duct coming out of the unit. Always look for the shortest, most direct route to the outside.
Do not use flexible metal duct.
Wherever possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns to as few sharp angles as possible. Two staggered 45° angles are better than one 90°. Keep turns as far away from the hood exhaust as possible, with as much space between each bend as possible.
For best performance, use round duct instead of rectangular 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.
You can increase the duct size over the duct run if desired. To prevent a back draft, never decrease the duct size over the run.
To prevent back-drafts, a damper at the duct outlet may also be required.
Make sure duct work does not interfere with floor joists or wall studs.
System exhaust location must take into account accumulated snowfall, where applicable.

Calculating the Maximum Duct run Length
Do not use duct work that is smaller in cross-sectional area than the required duct sizes in the Blower Maximum Duct Straight Length table below. For best performance, keep the duct run as short as possible and never exceed the maximums stated.
The maximum straight duct length for the downdraft vent system depends on the model of remote or in-line blower used with the vent system and the number of elbows and transitions used. The Equivalent Number of Feet for each elbow and transition must be subtracted from the maximum straight length to compensate for wind resistance. To determine the maximum allowable length of the duct work, subtract all of the equivalent lengths of the elbows and transitions from the Blower Maximum Duct Straight Length.
For example, for a downdraft vent system using 3 ¼” X 10″ rectangular duct, two (2) 3 ¼” X 10″ 90° elbows, a 3 ¼” X 10″ rectangular to 10″ round transition, and a rEMP16 remote blower:
From the Blower Maximum Duct Straight Length table, the maximum length without transitions and elbows is 60 feet.
The equivalent length of each 90° elbow is 15 feet.
The equivalent length of 45° elbow is 2 feet.
The equivalent length of the transition is 4 feet.
The total equivalent length of the above components is: 15 feet + 15 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet = 36 feet.
The maximum amount of straight duct that can be used with a REMP16 and the above components is: 60 feet – 34 feet = 24 feet.
