Installation of the downdraft system.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Venting Options
Side to side adjustments:
The entire blower mounting plate can be adjusted 31⁄2″ to the left or right. This will help to align vent discharge to house ductwork.
30° Rotation
For even more flexibility, the entire blower can be rotated up to 30° towards the left or 30° towards the right.
Discharge direction:
The blower assembly may be removed and turned 90° for a left or right side discharge.
■The downdraft vent is shipped with the discharge outlet pointing straight down and can be changed to the left or right side.
■A left or right 90° direction adjustment should be performed before dropping into the countertop opening.
■Flatten the shipping box to use as a pad.
■Lay the vent on its back onto the pad.
To change to a left or right discharge:
Remove 4 nuts holding the blower to the mounting plate. See illustration. One nut is just inside the blower discharge.
Remove and turn the blower to the right or left.
Reinstall the 4 nuts.
To locate the ductwork holes in the cabinet floor or side walls:
Temporarily, place vent into the countertop opening.
Push the vent all the way to the back of the opening.
If you are transitioning to 6″ round, place transition piece over the discharge outlet.
—Mark the location and remove the assembly.
—Cut holes and install ductwork connections.
