10 Installation 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. A ½" minimum clearance behind cutout must be maintained for proper installation. Template - 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. NOTE Cabinet constructions may vary. Be sure to take cabinet frame members into account. They may have to be removed or relocated. Do not compromise the structural integrity of the cabinet in doing so. 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. DO NOT Screw Top Stabilizing Brackets to Chassis Housing Remove screws from the chassis housing and reuse to install the stabilizing brackets.
