You need to drill holes for the top support screws, a
hole large enough for the power cord to fit through,
and a cutout large enough for the exhaust adaptor.

Read the instructions on the TOP CABINET
TEMPLATE.

Tape it underneath the top cabinet.

Drill the holes, following the instructions on the
TOP CABINET TEMPLATE.

CAUTION: Wear safety goggles when drilling holes
in the cabinet bottom.

Carefully slide the blower motor toward the right,
and lift it partially out of the opening.
Note: The blower wires are long enough to allow
flexible handling while performing these steps.
Disconnect the wires if necessary for additional
flexibility.

Remove the two screws holding the left side inlet
sleeve to the blower unit. Snap the inlet sleeve
off of the blower.
