If you choose to mount the Flexible Blower directly to the Downdraft
housing: Remove the inlet cover (taped in place for shipping) and discard
inlet cover. Refer to installation instructions in the Downdraft manual.
If you choose to mount the Flexible Blower in an inline location, (such as
the cabinet back, cabinet side, or floor joists) - follow the instructions below.

to the blower with 8 screws and 8 nuts from parts bag. Note that inlet
cover is taped to blower for shipping. This tape may be removed.

will connect to the Flexible Blower. Refer to installation instructions
in the Downdraft manual.

4. Mount Flexible Blower to back of cabinet, floor joist, or adequate
framework (constructed by installer) with appropriate MOUNTING
SCREWS (not included).
5. Connect 8" (203mm) ROUND DUCT from Downdraft housing to
Flexible Blower inlet and from Flexible Blower outlet to roof or wall
cap.
For best performance: Choose the ducting option which allows the
shortest length of ductwork and a minimum number of elbows and
transitions. Check location of floor joists, wall studs, electrical wiring
or plumbing for possible interference.
6. Use strain relief bushing (provided) to attach Flexible Blower wiring
to wiring box on Downdraft's electrical panel and make wiring
connections. (See Downdraft manual for instructions.)
