Mounting Bracket Installation
Bracket - A
Bracket - B
1. Mount Bracket-A to the downdraft vent body. Remove the
screws from the downdraft vent body and reassemble them to
position Bracket-A.
2. a) Mount Bracket-B to Bracket-A. Position short leg of "B"
against "A" for mounting to front or rear of cabinet. This
results in minimum extension of bracket positioning.
HINT: Pre-drive screws into Bracket-A.
b) Position the short leg of "B" against "A" for maximum
extension of bracket position.
Positioning will be determined by the final location of the
downdraft vent in the cabinet/countertop.
3. To fasten Bracket-B to the cabinet, assemble "B" to "A" as
instructed in step 2. Secure the screws to allow "B" to be
positioned against the cabinet (front or rear). Position the
downdraft vent intake unit into the final position in countertop.
Secure the screws holding Bracket-B to "A". Use wood
screws (not provided) to secure Bracket-B to the front and
rear of the cabinet.
NOTE: The mounting brackets must be secured to the cabinet,
front, and rear. The front of the cabinet must have a secure wood
surface to mount the bracket to. Depending on the cabinet
construction, a wooden brace (1" x 2" [2.5 x 5.1 cm] or equivalent
1
/
" (3.8 cm) minimum width) may be required to be added to
1
2
the cabinet. Determine the planned position of downdraft vent in
cabinet and secure the brace to cabinet.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Downdraft Vent
Cabinet
Wood Brace
Install Foam Strips
1. If the right side of the downdraft vent is positioned against
the countertop, remove and set aside the bridge bracket
(discard after installation is complete). Do not remove
screws.
If the right side of the downdraft vent is positioned adjacent
to a cooktop, adjust the position of the bridge bracket to be
level with the top of the countertop.
NOTE: The bridge kit included with a 15" (38.1 cm) module
cannot be used on the right side of the downdraft vent. The
bridge bracket provides the required foam strip surface.
2. Install foam strips, cut to size, on the countertop (front
and rear) and left side supporting surface (bridge kit or
countertop) and on the downdraft vent bridge bracket.
Recirculation (Non-Ducted) Installation
Cabinet Cutouts for Non-Ducted Installations
1. After laying out the positioning of the desired cooktop and
downdraft vent units to be installed, determine the location
of the centerline of the downdraft vent intake. Mark out
the required cut out in the cabinet floor and kick plate. It is
recommended that the complete layout of downdraft vent
and cooktop(s) be established before cutting any openings.
2. Countertop and cabinet can now be cut to the prepared
requirements.
3. Install the 6" (15.2 cm) - 3
transition (stack boot) to 3
to recirculating assembly. Secure all joints and seal using the
aluminum metal duct tape. This assembly can now be placed
into the opening in the cabinet floor.
4. Secure the recirculation assembly to the kick plate.
5. Install the blower to the pedestal using the 2-brackets
supplied and wood screws (not supplied) to secure the
blower to pedestal.
6. Position assembly from step 5 onto cabinet floor and
assemble 6" (15.2 cm) elbow between blower and assembly
(prepositioned in cabinet) from step 3. Secure joints and seal
with aluminum duct tape.
7. Position prepared downdraft vent intake into cabinet and
engage with blower assembly intake. Secure and seal duct
joints.
8. Secure the pedestal to the cabinet floor with wood screws.
9. Install the downdraft vent mounting brackets (see "Mounting
Bracket Installation" for more details).
