PLAN THE INSTALLATION
If you choose to mount the Flex Blower directly to the Downdraft
housing: Remove the inlet cover (taped in place for shipping)
and discard inlet cover. Refer to installation instructions in the
Downdraft manual.
If you choose to mount the Flex Blower in a remote location,
(such as the cabinet back, cabinet side, or floor joists) - follow
the instructions below.
INSTALL FLEX BLOWER
IN REMOTE LOCATION
NOTE: THE FLEX BLOWER MUST BE INSTALLED WITHIN
4-FEET OF THE DOWNDRAFT’S ELECTRICAL PANEL.
The Electrical Panel can be mounted directly to the Downdraft
housing - or mounted in a remote location (always within 4-feet
of the Flex Blower).
1. Position inlet cover over blower wheel. Securely attach the
inlet cover to the blower with 8 screws and 8 nuts from parts
bag. Note that inlet cover is taped to blower for shipping. This
tape may be removed.
2. Determine how the 8” round
INLET
and
OUTLET
ductwork
will connect to the Flex Blower.
3. Remove the necessary 1/4-20 x .50 hex head screws and attach
4 MOUNTING BRACKETS
to the Flex Blower - using 4 of the
6 POSSIBLE BRACKET MOUNTING LOCATIONS
.
4. Mount Flex Blower to back of cabinet, floor joist, or adequate
framework (constructed by installer) with appropriate
MOUNTING SCREWS (not included)
.
5. Connect
8” ROUND DUCT
from Downdraft housing to Flex
Blower inlet and from Flex Blower outlet to roof or wall cap.
For best performance: Choose the ducting option which allows
the shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of
elbows and transitions. Check location of floor joists, wall
studs, electrical wiring or plumbing for possible interference.
6. Use strain relief bushing (provided) to attach Flex Blower wiring
to wiring box on Downdraft’s electrical panel and make wiring
connections. (See Downdraft manual for instructions.)
