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.

Rear Discharge Conversion

- If ducting will be connected to the back of the

unit remove the plate from the back of the chassis.

Remove the Transition Duct from the front of the

chassis and mount to the back. See page 12 for

mounting the Transition Duct.
- Attach the plate removed from the rear of the chassis

to the front.

- 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.

Mount the Unit

Set downdraft into opening and position with the

back of the unit contacting the back edge of the

cutout.

Stabilizing brackets should be installed at the bottom

of the vent housing and just below the bottom of the

cooktop chassis.

Lower stabilizing brackets:

One stabilizing bracket should be installed on each

side of the vent housing. Remove the hex head

screws from the bottom of the vent housing and

use it to attach each bracket to the bottom of the

housing. Slide the brackets to the back wall of the

cabinet so that the vent housing is vertical, check the

level of the vent on both the right and left sides, and

tighten the screws. Attach the stabilizing brackets to

the back wall using the appropriate screws for your

cabinet material and thickness. These screws are

not supplied with downdraft system.
The end of the stabilizing bracket may have to be

bent down for transition duct clearance.

Upper stabilizing brackets:

Caution:

Do not attach the upper bracket to the

vent with screws, doing so may jam the vent.

Attach a stabilizing bracket to the left and right

cabinet walls just below the bottom of the cooktop

chassis. The long leg of the bracket must be in

contact with the vent housing.

Remove screws

from the chassis

housing and re-

use to install the

stabilizing brackets.

clearance behind
