Installation
Professional Vent Hoods
NOTE: A decorative duct cover is available
for wall mount installations. The duct cover
conceals the duct run from the top of the
hood to the ceiling. Choose the 6" or 12"
cover based upon installation height of the
vent hood.
We recommend that the vent hood and
decorative duct cover be on site before final
framing and wall finishing in order to accu-
rately locate the ductwork and electrical
service.
• Determine the location for installation.
• Mark the centerline of the installation.
