6. Attach support legs to the side of the downdraft vent with
2 screws in each leg. Do not tighten screws.
7. Using 2 or more people, insert the downdraft vent into the
countertop cutout. Check that downdraft vent is parallel to
side of cutout and that mounting brackets overlap countertop.
8. Move support legs down against cabinet floor. Place a level
against the front of the downdraft vent base and adjust until
downdraft vent is level vertically. Use a pencil to mark the top
of each leg on the downdraft vent and the location of the
support leg mounting holes on the cabinet floor.
9. Remove downdraft vent from cutout. Drill starter holes at each
mounting screw location on the cabinet floor. Align top of legs
with pencil marks on the face of the downdraft vent. Tighten
screws in legs.
Determine which direction is best for your installation.
When installed in a cabinet, vent system can exhaust through the
bottom, right, left or rear of the cabinet.
Bottom venting:
Downdraft vent is shipped with blower in down venting
position so no modification is required. See “Complete
Installation - Interior Mounted Motor” section.
Left or right venting:
1. Loosen the 2 hex/slotted head screws that attach the top
bracket that secures the motor to the vent box enough to slide
the bracket into the “Z” slots. This will move the bracket away
from the top mounting lip of the blower box and allow it to tilt
away from the vent box panel.
2. Lift up the blower box from the bottom mounting channel.
3. Rotate it 90 degrees to the left or right so that the vent blower
damper is repositioned in the direction needed. Do not twist or
bind the wires or disconnect the wiring from the blower.
4. Place the bottom tab of the blower box into the bottom
mounting channel.
