Installation Preparation

VENTING OPTIONS

The downdraft vent is shipped with the discharge outlet pointing straight down and can be changed to the left or right side.

The blower outlet is sized for 3-1/4" x 10" and can be transitioned to 6" round.

Side-to-Side Adjustments:

The entire blower mounting plate can be adjusted 3-1/2" to the left or right. This will help to align vent discharge to house ductwork.

Discharge Direction

The blower assembly may be removed and turned 90° for a left- or right-side discharge.

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 and onto the pad.

To change to a left or right discharge:

Remove the 4 screws holding the blower to the mounting plate assembly. Retain screws.

Remove blower assembly; turn it over to access the 4 nuts holding the blower to the mounting plate. Remove the nuts.

IMPORTANT: Do not lift motor by the power cable.

Turn the blower to the left or right discharge direction and reinstall the 4 nuts.

Reinstall blower and mounting plate with original screws.

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 (obtained locally), place transition piece over the discharge outlet.

Mark the location and remove the assembly.

Cut holes and install ductwork connections.

Order JXRB67 for installation of the blower and motor below the floor.

Order JXBC67 for installation of the blower and motor outdoors.
