Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
— latest edition*, or CSA
Standards C22.1-94, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest
edition** and all local codes
and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate
ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if
you are not sure downdraft vent is
properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral
or ground circuit.
IMPORTANT: Save Installation
instructions for electrical
inspector’s use.
E. A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed, 1/2"
(12.7 mm) conduit connector
must be provided at each end of
the power supply cable (at the
downdraft vent and at the
junction box).
A. A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,
fused electrical supply is required
on a separate 15 amp circuit. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
is recommended. The fuse must
be sized per local codes in
accordance with the electrical
rating of the downdraft vent as
specified on the model/serial
rating plate located on the front
of the downdraft vent above the
wiring box cover.
B. The downdraft vent must
be connected with copper wire
only.

D. This downdraft vent should
be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker)
through flexible, armored or non-

Allow some slack in the cable so
the downdraft vent can be moved
if servicing is ever necessary.
F. A wiring diagram is located
on the downdraft vent base
above the wiring box cover.
