INSTALLATION
Installing the Range Hood
• For installing under the cabinet with recessed
bottom, attach a 4" wide wood filler strip (not
provided) on each side.
• Use a stub finder to locate and mark 2 studs inside
the wall.
• Make 2 cutouts on the top and bottom of the
cabinet that align with the outlet of the top vent
on the hood. The diameter of the cutout should be
slightly larger than the diameter of the duct.
The following steps require 2 or more people:
• Draw the power cord through the bottom
cutout and align the range hood beneath the
cabinet so that the exhaust on the hood and
the cutout are in line.
• Raise and screw the top of the hood to the
bottom of the cabinet through the knockout
holes shown below:
• Tighten all screws until the range hood is
securely mounted to the bottom of the cabinet.
Make sure the range hood is securely mounted
before releasing.
• For a more secure installation, install additional
screws into the pre-drilled holes on the
backplate of the range hood to secure it to the
studs or lumbers. If the pre-drilled holes don't
align with the studs or lumbers, drill new holes
on the backplate instead.
Connecting the Vent System
• Use 6” round or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular metal
duct (or semi-rigid aluminum duct, follow the local
building codes) to connect the exhaust on the hood
to the duct-work above.
• Use foil tape or duct tape to seal all connections.
Electrical Connection
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power
before servicing.
• In case of a direct connection to the house wiring is
preferred, do the following:
• Disconnect the power.
• Cut off the plug from the power cord.
• Connect the wires from the power cord to the
wires from the house wiring using UL listed
