7Calculating Vent System LengthIMPORTANT: This range is rated at 60 ft (18.3 m) of straight duct.Low range is up to 30 ft (9.1 m); high range is 31 ft (9.4 m) to60 ft (18.3 m).If equivalent duct length exceeds 30 ft (18.3 m), the blower mustbe converted to high range.■ Do not convert to high range for shorter lengths. This willcause excessive noise, conditioned air loss and affect theflame pattern on gas ranges.■ To convert blower for high range installations, see the“Install Downdraft System” section.To calculate the length of the system you need, add theequivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.Example vent systemNOTE: For external venting, flexible vent is not recommended.Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence thatgreatly reduce performance.Electrical RequirementsIMPORTANT: The range must be electrically grounded inaccordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absenceof local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it isrecommended that a qualified electrical installer determine thatthe ground path is adequate.A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:National Fire Protection Association1 Batterymarch ParkQuincy, MA 02169-7471CSA International8501 East Pleasant Valley RoadCleveland, OH 44131-5575■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit isrequired. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is alsorecommended. It is recommended that a separate circuitserving only this range be provided.■ Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check thatthe outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.■ The wiring diagram is located on the back of the accesspanel in a clear plastic bag.Vent Piece 6" (15.2 cm) Round45° elbow 2.5 ft(0.8 m)90° elbow 5.0 ft(1.5 m)6" (15.2 cm)wall cap0.0 ft(0.0 m)3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)to 6" (15.2 cm) transition4.5 ft(1.4 m)6" (15.2 cm) to 3¹⁄₄" x 10"(8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) transition1 ft(0.3 m)3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)to 6" (15.2 cm) 90° elbowtransition5.0 ft(1.5 m)6" (15.2 cm) to 3¹⁄₄" x 10"(8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) 90° elbowtransition5.0 ft(1.5 m)3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)90° elbow5.0 ft(1.5 m)3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)flat elbow12.0 ft(3.7 m)3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)wall cap0.0 ft(0.0 m)Maximum length = 60 ft (18.3 m)1- 90° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)1 - wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)System length = 13 ft (3.9 m)90˚ elbow2 ft(0.6 m)6 ft (1.8 m)wall cap
