INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Install the Downdraft
1. Set the downdraft into the opening. Extend
the leveling brackets to the floor of the cabinet
so the downdraft sits straight. (NOTE: Leveling
brackets can be removed and re-attached in
other positions. The bottom flange may have to
face inward in tight cabinet installations.)
2. Secure the downdraft to the countertop
as follows: Hold the downdraft against the back
of the countertop cut-out and tighten the 2
mounting screws (one on each end of unit) on
the underside of the countertop. Use a wood
shim between the screw and the underside of
granite countertops.
3. Screw the leveling brackets to the bottom of
the cabinet. Tighten the screws holding the
leveling bracket to the unit on each side.
Install the Electrical Wiring
1. Mount a standard wiring box, with
3-pronged outlet, inside the cabinet. Make sure
the downdraft’s power cord can easily reach it.
2. Run the appropriate power cable into the
cabinet and connect it to the outlet.
3. Plug the downdraft’s power cord into
the outlet.
Install the Ductwork
CAUTION- BEFORE CUTTING A HOLE
IN CABINET FOR DUCTWORK: Check for
interference with floor joists, wall studs,
electrical wiring or plumbing.
1. Cut the hole in the cabinet as well as holes in
the wall or floor as necessary.
2. Mount the roof or wall cap and work back
towards the cabinet, attaching all ductwork,
elbows and transitions as previously planned.
Tape all ductwork connections to make them
secure and air tight.
3. Connect the ductwork (and transition,
if required) to the downdraft. If necessary,
LOOSEN wing nuts and screws that hold the
blower in place, and slide the blower left or right
to meet the ductwork. Re-tighten the screws and
wing nuts.
NOTE: A 3

″
x 10
″
collar is provided for
installers who prefer to rivet the cutwork to the
unit. This will allow the blower to be removed
and replaced easily in service situations without
disturbing the ductwork.
