1. Cut Countertop Opening
- Lay out and cut the cooktop cut-out far enough forward
so downdraft will fit behind it (refer to cooktop installation
instructions).
- Set cooktop in place and slide it as far forward as possible.
Center and square it with edges of countertop.
3. Prepare the Downdraft Blower
System Duct Connection
The downdraft is shipped with blower oriented for exhaust
discharge down. Follow directions below to change to left
or right exhaust discharge.
Remove the blower and slide plate from the chassis housing
by removing the two Phillips screws from the bottom slots
and detaching the slide plate from the top tabs.
Remove the four 1/4” nylon insert nuts from the blower
studs and detach the slide plate. Rotate the blower 90
degrees left or right as required for ducting and reattach
to the slide plate. Re-install the four 1/4” nylon insert nuts
on the blower studs.
Replace the blower and slide plate assembly by placing the
slide plate underneath the top tabs and re-installing the two
Hex Head screws in the bottom slots.
- Place the template against the back flange of the cooktop
and center it. Trace around template to mark the downdraft
opening.
- Remove cooktop from countertop.
- Cut downdraft opening. Be careful not to chop edges of
countertop. Mask the countertop to help prevent scratching
the surface.
- A ½” minimum clearance behind cutout must be maintained
behind the telescopic downdraft for proper installation.
