PREPARATION
CHANGING BLOWER DISCHARGE (Optional)
The blower is shipped with its discharge facing DOWN. Follow
these steps ONLY if:
•
the position of the blower discharge needs to be moved so
ductwork does not interfere with floor joists, plumbing or
wiring below.
•
it is necessary to rotate the blower discharge to the RIGHT
or LEFT.
CUT COUNTERTOP OPENING
1. Lay out and cut the cooktop cut-out far enough FORWARD
so downdraft will fit behind it.
2. Set cooktop in place and slide it as far forward as possible.
Center and square it with edges of countertop.
3. Place the plastic template against the back flange of the
cooktop and center it. Trace around template to mark the
downdraft opening.
4. Remove cooktop from countertop.
5. Cut downdraft opening. Be careful not to chip edges of
countertop.

2. Secure the downdraft to the countertop as follows: Hold the
downdraft against the back of countertop cut-out and tighten-
ing the 2 mounting screws (one on each end of unit) on
underside of countertop. Use a wood shim between screw
