Determine which direction is best for your installation.
When installed in a cabinet, vent system can exhaust through the
bottom, right, left or rear of the cabinet.
Bottom venting:
Downdraft vent is shipped with blower in down venting
position so no modification is required. See "Complete
Installation - Interior Mounted Motor" section.
Left or right venting:
1. Loosen the 2 hex/slotted head screws that attach the top
bracket that secures the motor to the vent box enough to
slide the bracket into the "Z" slots. This will move the bracket
away from the top mounting lip of the blower box and allow it
to tilt away from the vent box panel.
