Mounting Bracket Installation
Bracket-A
Bracket-B
1. Mount Bracket-A to downdraft body. Screws are in place on
downdraft body.
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 long leg of "B" against "A" for maximum
extension of bracket position.
Positioning will be determined by final location of the
downdraft in the cabinet/counter top.
3. To fasten Bracket-B to cabinet, assemble "B" to "A"
per instruction (Item-2). Snug screws to allow "B" to be
positioned against cabinet (front or rear). Position downdraft
intake unit in its final position in countertop. Secure screws
holding Bracket-B to "A". Use wood screws (not provided) to
secure Bracket-B to front and rear of 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 or equivalent) may be
required to be added to the cabinet. Determine planned position
of downdraft in cabinet and secure brace to cabinet.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Downdraft
Cabinet
Wood Brace
Install Foam Strips
1. If the right side of the downdraft is positioned against the
countertop, remove and discard the bridge, do not remove
screws.
If the right side of the downdraft 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. The
bridge bracket provides the required foam strip surface.
2. Install foam strips, cut to size, on the counter top (front and
rear) and left side supporting surface (bridge kit or counter
top) and on the downdraft bridge bracket.

Cabinet Cutouts for Non-ducted Installations
1. After laying out the positioning of the desired cooktop and
downdraft units to be installed determine the location of the
centerline of the downdraft intake. Mark out the required cut
out in the cabinet floor and kick plate. It is recommended
that the complete layout of downdraft and cooktop(s) be
established before cutting any openings.
