SECTION 2
Installing the Range Hood
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT
SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
CAUTION:
WHEN CUTTING OR DRILLING INTO WALL DO NOT DAMAGE
ELECTRICAL WIRING AND OTHER HIDDEN UTILITIES.
1. Locate and mark the upper keyhole positions on the wall. If installing onto drywall, drill
holes into wall using a 3/16" drill bit. Install wall anchors into the drilled holes (one for each
hole). Install (2) provided #6 x 1" screws, leaving a 1/8" gap between the screw head and
the wall. If installing into other material (brick, cement, plaster, etc.) choose an appropriate
fastner capable of supporting the weight of the hood. Line up the keyholes in the hood with
the screws and position in place. Hang the hood over the keyhole anchors and verify that the
hood is centered, plum and level
(Figure 1).
2. With the hood hanging in place from the top screws, mark the location of the lower holes.
If installing onto drywall, remove the hood and drill holes into wall using a 3/16" drill bit.
Install wall anchors into the drilled holes (one for each hole). If installing into other material
(brick, cement, plaster, etc.) choose an appropriate fastner capable of supporting the weight
of the hood. Hang the hood over the keyhole anchors and verify that the hood is centered,
level and the bottom holes line up with the anchors. Install the provided #6 x 1" screws into
the anchors
(Figure 2)
. Tighten all screws completely and reinstall the Grease filters

(Figure 3).
1. Connect the ducting to the duct collar and secure in place using tape to seal all joints
(Figure 3).
NOTE:
To achieve proper air flow, 6" round ducting is required. The duct connector is 5.8" in
diameter (for 6" round ducting) and the center is located 3.1875" inches from the back wall.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS DUCT THE FAN TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH A
WALL OR ROOF CAP.
SECTION 4
Wiring
CAUTION:
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL
WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Remove wire compartment cover by removing the screw then sliding it outward. Choose
the most convenient electrical knockout and remove using a straight-blade screw driver.
2. Run wiring from an approved source carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral (White), one
ground (green or bare copper), and one hot (Black). Secure the electrical wires to the wire
compartment with an approved electrical connector. Make sure you leave enough wiring in
the box to make the connection to the hood.
3. Connect the White wire from the range hood to the White wire from the supply, and the Black
wire from the range hood to the Black wire of the supply. Connect the ground wire from the
home (green or bare) and the Green wire from the range hood. Use approved methods for
all connections. Reinstall the wire compartment by sliding the tabs back into the holes then
reinstalling the screw that was removed eariler. Make sure all wiring is securely contained
within the wire compartment
(Figure 4).
