Electrical Service Installation
wArning
The electric service to the range hood should be installed
only by a licensed electrician.
Install a junction box in the vicinity of the hood electri-
cal access holes according to local codes. Install it either
behind or above the hood. The diagram below shows sug-
gested locations.
Drill 7/8” holes in the wall or cabinet as necessary to allow
the wiring to pass through into the hood. See page 4 for
hole locations.
Duct Cutout
Using a pencil, draw the vertical center line for the
1.
range hood on the wall. Extend the line down 10” (25.4
cm) from where the top of the hood will be located.
The center line for the hood is usually halfway between
the cabinets at the installation location or the same as
the center line of the cooktop or range. The line will be
used to line up the mounting brackets during installa-
tion.
Locate the center lines for the duct cutout(s) according
2.
to the dimensions on page 4. For installations venting
through the top of the hood, use the top dimensions to
locate the center lines on the ceiling or cabinet bottom.
For installations venting through the back of the hood,
use the back dimensions to locate the center lines on
the back wall. See the diagrams on the right.
Cut a hole for the duct to pass through 11” (28 cm) in
3.
diameter. Center it on the center lines. Dual exhaust
models require two (2) holes.
Preparing for Installation
Verify the Package Contents
Unpack the parts box and verify that all parts have been
included according to the parts list on page 5. If any item
is missing or damaged, please contact the dealer immedi-
ately. Do not install a damaged or incomplete appliance.
Make sure you have everything necessary for proper instal-
lation before proceeding.
Mounting Location Preparation
wArning
The electrical service to the range hood should be
•
installed only by a licensed electrician.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances during
•
site preparation and installation. Contact your local
building department for further information.
Failure to properly anchor the hood to the wall may
•
result in personal injury due to the unit falling off the
wall.
To avoid an electric shock hazard and property dam-
•
age, locate electric wires and water pipes and avoid
drilling or cutting in the vicinity.
Use the temporary mounting brackets only to hold
•
the hood in place until permanent anchoring is
installed.
Temporary mounting brackets, and the
•
screws and anchors to hold them in place
during installation are provided with the
hood. Two anchors and screws are used
per bracket.
Determine the number, size and type of
•
anchors required to attach the hood permanently to the
wall and/or the cabinets based on the type of installa-
tion and the weight chart on page 3.
Make sure the mount-
•
ing surface is properly
reinforced to handle the
full weight of the hood.
If mounting the unit to a
drywall or plastered sur-
face, install a reinforced
mounting block between
the studs behind all hood
mounting locations. You
may attach screws directly
to the studs and cabinets
if they line up with the
mounting holes in the back
and top of the hood. If
mounting the hood to brick
or masonry, select anchors
capable of holding the full
weight of the hood.
