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.
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).
NOTE:
Makes sure to support the blower
in position by hand until it is firmly secured
to the hood.
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).
NOTE: FOR DUCTLESS INSTALLATIONS
ONLY,
if you did not already do so in the
earlier steps, remove the vent insert from
behind the grill on the outside of the hood
(Figure 4).
3. Plug the blower into the appropriate
connector on the side of the wire
compartment. It will only fit one way
(Figure 7).

the supply. Connect the ground wire (green or bare) from the supply to the green
ground screw of the hood. Use approved methods for all connections
(Figure 9).
2. Install the wire compartment cover and tighten screw. Make sure all wiring is
securely contained within the wire compartment.
SECTION 7

SECTION 5
Installing the Range Hood
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
NOTE:
If installing into existing construction and you will not have access to the
ductwork once the hood is in place, make ducting connections at this point. Refer
to the Ducting Section for instructions.
1. Install the 4 mounting screws at the previously marked locations. Leave
approximately 1/8" clearance. Slide the hood in place through the keyhole
slots and align the front of the hood so that it is flush with the front of the
cabinets. Tighten all screws securely
(Figure 8).
