You must install one of the Dacor blower models listed below for proper
operation. For models REMP3 or REMP16, see the REMP3/16 Remote
Blower Installation Instructions. For model CABP3, see the instructions later
in this manual. Only one blower shall be installed.

The raised vent can be configured to exhaust through the bottom or
■
either side:
On installations using a remote or in-line blower, the cover plate
►
on the appropriate side or on the bottom is removed to expose
the exhaust. Configure the raised vent for bottom exhaust and
use an elbow to vent through the rear cabinet wall.
On installations using the CABP3 blower, the blower assembly is
►
mounted to the front of the raised vent with the exhaust pointing
in the desire direction. Point the exhaust down and use an elbow
to vent through the rear cabinet wall.
When planning new duct work, always look for the shortest, most
■
direct route to the outside. Calculate the maximum duct length (see
following pages) to determine if the planned duct route will work with
the blower selected.
On bottom exhaust installations you may cut a hole in the floor to
■
allow the duct work to pass through.
All duct work materials (including screws and duct tape) must be
■
purchased separately by the customer.
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.
Do not rely on duct tape alone to seal duct joints. Fasten all
■
connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified
silver tape or duct tape.
Use sheet metal screws as require to support the duct weights.
■
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.
■
With concrete slab construction, “box-in” the duct work to prevent it
■
from collapsing when the wet concrete is poured. Also allow room for
electrical wiring from the remote blower.
Cross-drafts or air currents from adjacent open windows or doors,
■
heating/air conditioning outlets, ceiling fans and recessed ceiling lights
reduce vent efficiency.
Duct Work Design Tips
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.
Do not use flexible metal duct.
■
Planning the Duct Work
WArNINg
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside the house or building. Do not vent exhaust air into
•
spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
Tape all duct joints securely to prevent combustion by-products, smoke or odors from entering the home. Doing so will also improve
•
system efficiency.
For proper operation this unit must be installed with a remote blower or internal cabinet blower. Use only one of the models
•
specified.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCT WORK.
•
DO NOT install more than one blower. Even small differences between blower air flow rates can greatly reduce the air draw by the
•
raised vent.
