Installing the Downdraft Vent in
the Cutout
1. Cut a hole in the cabinet to allow the duct work to pass
through to the floor or wall for the planned duct system
layout. Use the dimensions on pages 9 and 10 to
determine the hole center line locations. If using the 2” x
16” to 3 1/4” x 10” transition (REMP and ILHSF blower
installations), the hole may need to be enlarged slightly.
2. Gently slide the vent into the rear of the countertop cut-
out with the electrical access panel toward the front.
3. Adjust the anchoring leg height so that the top of the
downdraft vent rests on the counter, then tighten the
hex nuts. Secure the anchoring legs to the cabinet floor
with the provided wood screws.

on the front of the unit. Discard the three (3) lock wash-
ers (they will be replaced). Tilt the cover out and pull
up. to remove it.
2. Peel the backing off of some of the foam tape included

3. Hold the adapter in front of the opening on the front
of the unit with the adapter’s studs on top and all the
flanges closest to the downdraft vent chassis.
4. Slide the bottom flange on the adapter into the bottom
retainer bracket on the downdraft vent at an angle.
