Downdraft Vent System Preparation
NOTE: It is easiest to install this unit before the countertop is
installed. The preferred method of installation is inserting this unit
into the cabinet and then placing the countertop over it.
1. Place cardboard or similar material on top of a flat surface
where you can easily assemble the downdraft vent system.
2. Open the wooden crate by removing the screws holding the
top in position.
3. Remove the parts packages from the wood crate and
set aside.
4. Remove the downdraft vent system from the wooden crate
and place on assembly surface with the access panel/
junction box facing up.
5. Measure the distance “E” from the cabinet floor to the top
of the countertop.
NOTE: Dimension “E” must be 32⁵⁄₈" (82.9 cm) minimum or
the cabinet floor will have to be removed to allow the hood
feet to rest on the floor.
6. Screw in the 4 feet so that the overall height of the unit from
the feet to the top is approximately 1" (2.5 cm) less than
dimension “E.”
7. Install the right and left undercounter mounting brackets
to the vent box. The mounting brackets can be mounted
to the front or rear face of the downdraft for attachment to
the cabinets or to each side face for attachment to the
countertop. (See the following illustration.) Loosely secure the
screws in the slots with the 4 - 4.9 x 12 mm machine screws.
Vent Collar and Vent Transition Installation
When installed in a cabinet, the vent system can exhaust through
the bottom, right side, or left side of the vent box. The downdraft
vent system is shipped ready to vent out of the bottom of the
vent box. If this is not the desired exhaust direction, complete
the following steps.
1. Remove cover plate from the desired exhaust port location.
2. Remove vent collar mounting frame from bottom exhaust
port location.
3. Install the vent collar mounting frame to the desired vent box
exhaust port using the 4 screws.
4. Install the vent translation to the vent collar mounting frame
using 4 - 4.9 x 12 mm screws.
5. Install the cover plate to the exhaust port that the vent collar
mounting frame was removed from using the 4 screws.
