INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■
It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
hood is installed.
■
If you are installing an optional backsplash or full width duct
cover, follow the instructions included with that product.
■
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.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
NOTE: This range hood can be mounted to the cabinets or to the
wall.
For Cabinet Installations
1. If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each
side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.
Determine Wiring Hole Location
Cut only one 1
¹⁄₄
" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole. See
Step 2 for wiring hole location instructions.
1. Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall
and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.
2. To wire through top:
Mark a line distance “A” from the left of the centerline on the
underside of the cabinet. Mark the point on this line that is
7
⁷⁄₈
" (20.0 cm) from back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) diameter
hole through the cabinet at this point.
Cut Openings for 3¼" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)
Rectangular Vent System
Roof Venting
To make a 3½" x 10½" (8.9 cm x 26.7 cm) rectangular cutout
on the underside of cabinet top and bottom:
1. Mark lines
³⁄₈
" (1.0 cm) and 3
⁷⁄₈
" (9.8 cm) from the back wall
on the centerline of the underside of cabinet.
2. Mark lines 5¼" (13.3 cm) to the right and left of the centerline
on the underside of cabinet.
3. Use saber or keyhole saw to cut a rectangular opening for
vent.
