PREPARE THE WALL

opening to provide easier access to upper cabinet and rear
wall. Put a thick, protective covering over cooktop, set-in
range or countertop to protect from damage or dirt.
2. It is recommended that the vent system be installed
before hood is installed. Before making cutouts, make sure
there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust
vent. Check that all installation parts have been removed
from the shipping carton. First, disconnect power.
Then determine which venting method to use: roof, wall
or rear exhaust.
