Determine which venting direction is best for your
installation.
When installed in a cabinet, vent system can exhaust through the
front or rear of the vent box.
Front venting:
Downdraft vent is shipped with a vent collar in the front
position so no modification is required. See "Complete
Installation" section.
Rear venting:
NOTE: The blank panel and 10" diameter vent collar need to
be removed and placed in the opposite position.
1. To remove panels, 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.
