UPDATE!
I finally figured it out! The instructions, although apparently for
the "grille" type worked basically the same for the "hidden vent" type
except that after removign the two screws and sliding the "assembly"
to the left, the trick was simply to "wiggle" the thing loose. it
appears that the top plate is a bit too flexible and hangs the
assembly when you try to remove it. Simply pulling up on the sheet
metal along the top frees up the "assembly". Now I just have to hang
the unit under the cabinet.
Thanks for the help.
