To vent through the roof with 3-1/4" x 10"
rectangular vent, mark a line 1" and 5" from
the back wall on the underside of the
cabinet. Mark lines 5-1/4" to the right and
left of the centerline on the underside of
cabinet that connect the lines just drawn.
Use a keyhole saw and saber saw to cut a
rectangular opening for the ventwork.
Repeat for the underside of the top of the
cabinet.
To vent through wall with 3-1/4" x 10"
rectangular vent, measure 1/8" and
3-5/8" down from underside of cabinet and
mark on back wall. Measure and mark a
line 5-1/4" to right and left of centerline,
connecting the two lines. Use a keyhole
saw and saber saw to cut a rectangular
opening for the ventwork.

To vent through the roof with 7" round vent,
mark 4-1/2" and 5" in from back wall along
the centerline on underside of cabinet. Use
these points as centers to draw 7-1/8"
circles on underside of cabinet. Use a saber
saw to cut the openings for the ventwork.
Repeat for the underside of the top of the
cabinet. This will create slotted openings
which makes it easier to install the vent
system.
