SECTION 4
Blower Installation for Ducted
Range Hoods
NOTE:
When reinstalling the blower, ensure
that the blower is facing the same way as
how you have chosen to duct it.
NOTE:
Makes sure to support the blower in
position by hand until it is firmly secured to
the hood.
NOTE: FOR DUCTLESS INSTALLATIONS
ONLY,
if you did not already do so in the
earlier steps, remove the vent block-off plate
from under the top of the hood
(Figure 4).
1. With the opening of the blower facing
the direction you have chosen to duct
the hood, place the blower mounting
brackets (brackets on either side of the
blower) over the blower mounting studs
on the interior of the hood
(Figure 6).
2. Using the 4 nuts removed earlier, secure
the blower in place. Start the nuts by
hand first, then tighten with a 3/8" nut
driver or ratchet until they are fully
seated
(Figure 6).
3. Plug the blower connector into the
port on the front wall of the blower
compartment. It will fit only one way
(Figure 7).
