5. Measure the distance “E” from the cabinet floor to the top of
the countertop.
NOTE: Dimension “E” must be 32⁵⁄₈" (82.9 cm) minimum or
the cabinet floor will have to be removed to allow the hood

following steps.
1. Remove cover plate from the desired exhaust port location.
2. Remove vent collar mounting frame from bottom exhaust
port location.
3. Install the vent collar mounting frame to the desired vent box
exhaust port using the 4 screws.
4. Install the vent translation to the vent collar mounting frame
using 4 - 4.9 x 12 mm screws.
5. Install the cover plate to the exhaust port that the vent collar
mounting frame was removed from, using the 4 screws.

2. Remove the knockout from the front panel and install a ½"
(1.3 cm) UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector.

cabinet. Position the downdraft vent so that it is
approximately centered below the countertop cutout
location.
4. If the countertop is not already installed, follow the directions
for the countertop installation to place it onto the cabinets.
5. Using a ½" wrench, screw out the feet on the vent box to
