where you can easily assemble the downdraft vent system.
2. Remove parts packages, downdraft vent, and blower box
from the carton.
3. Remove all shipping materials, tape, and lm from the
downdraft vent and blower box.
4. Measure distance “X” from the cabinet oor to the top of the
countertop. Subtract 28
1
/
2
" (72.4 cm) from distance “X” to
determine dimension “Y” (X - 28
1
/
2
= Y).
5. Attach the support legs to the side of the vent box with
four4x8 mm screws in each support leg. Adjust to dimension
“Y” from the bottom of the vent box to the bottom of the
support legs. Tighten screws.
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. The downdraft vent is
shipped with a 10" (25.4 cm) diameter vent collar plate.
Front or Rear Venting:
1. Using two or more people, place the downdraft vent system
on the opposite side for venting.
2. Remove the four screws from the cover plate mounted to the
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.
4. Install the 10" (25.4 cm) diameter vent collar plate to the vent
box where the cover plate was removed in the previous step.
Secure using the four screws from the cover plate.
5. Go to the “Complete Installation (Exterior-Mounted Motor)”
section.
Complete Installation
(Exterior-Mounted Motor)
1. Remove four screws attaching the terminal box cover.
2. Determine which direction (front or rear) the home power supply
cable and the wiring conduit from the in-line blower system will
enter the terminal box. Remove the appropriate knockout from
the front or rear panel and install two 1/2" (1.3 cm) UL listed or
CSA approved conduit connectors.
3. Using two or more people, insert the downdraft vent into the
countertop cutout. Position downdraft vent so it is centered
in the cutout with the rear ange over the edge of the cutout
and the rear of the vent box against the edge of the cutout.
