INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARE LOCATION
■
Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range hood to determine the best routing for the vent
duct.
■
It is recommended that the vent system be installed before the range hood is installed.
■
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling for exhaust vent.
■
Range hood is to be installed 24" (61.0 cm) min. for electric cooking surfaces, 27" (68.6 cm) min. for gas
cooking surfaces, to a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the cooking surface.
■
Remove film from metal surfaces as needed prior to assembly.
■
Check your ceiling height and the range hood height maximum before you install your hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or non-vented.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where the range hood will be installed, considering
the requirements for ceiling support structures. See the “Location Requirements” section. Make sure the
range hood is centered over the cooking surface.
2. Tape template (not included) in place on the ceiling at the marked centerline. The line for the front of
the range hood should be parallel to the front of the cook top.
3. Use a pencil to mark the mounting screws, wire access and duct hole locations on the ceiling.
NOTE: Mounting hole locations should be into a ceiling support structure capable of holding 80 lbs (36.6 kg).
4. Remove the template.
5. Drill 4 -
3⁄₁₆
" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper horizontal support.
