Prepare Location
■
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 your ceiling height and the hood height
maximum before you select your hood.
1.
Disconnect power.
2.
Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall,
or non-vented.

/
16
" (10 mm) holes at all locations
where wall anchors are being used.
6.
For wood, install (2) 5 x 45 mm mounting screws. Leave

1
/
4
" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
3.
Run the home power supply cable according to the National
Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and
