Install Downdraft Vent In-Line (External Type) Blower Motor

NOTE: Your downdraft vent requires you to purchase an
in-line (external type) blower motor system. See "Blower
Motor System" in the "Accessories" section.
Prepare for Mounting the In-Line Blower System
The in-line blower system must be fastened to a secure
structure of the roof, ceiling, wall, floor, or new or existing frame
construction. The 4 holes on either the inlet (bottom) side or the
outlet (top) side of the blower must be used to mount the in-line
blower system to the structure.
NOTE: The mounting hole locations must span the studs.
Additional stud framing may be required. Plywood may be
used to span open areas between ceiling or floor joists or roof
rafters to aid installation. This structure must be strong enough
to support the weight of the in-line blower system (50 lb
[22.6 kg] min).
