Determine Which Vent Direction Is Best for
Your Installation
When installed in a cabinet, vent system can exhaust through
the bottom, left, or right of the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: When using the 6" (15.2 cm) vent transition
(supplied) for 6" round venting, only left or right venting is
recommended.
Bottom Venting:
NOTE: If installing the vent damper in the down position, a wall
or roof cap with a damper at the exit end of the vent system
isrequired.
■ Downdraft vent is shipped with blower in down-venting
position, so no modication is required.
■ If rear mounting of the blower motor is not required, go to the
“Complete Installation (Interior-Mounted Motor)” section.
■ To mount the blower motor to the rear side of the vent box,
go to the “Rear Mounting —Blower Motor” section.
Left or Right Venting:
1. Using two or more people, place the downdraft vent system
on its back.

face of the motor box and set them aside.
3. Slide the cover plate up and slip it over the keyhole slot
shoulder screws. Set the cover aside.

hold the motor assembly to the motor box.
NOTE: Disconnect the electrical wiring connection from

5. Remove three screws and the vent cover plate from the left
or right side of the motor box for the venting direction to
beused.
6. Rotate the blower motor assembly 90° to the left or right side
to the chosen venting direction and secure to the blower box
with motor mounting screws previously removed. Do not
twist or bind the wires.

bottom of the motor box and secure with vent cover screws.
NOTE: Reinstall the electrical wiring connection to motor
