INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
5. Remove the motor from the canopy assembly (see the “Motor
Removal” section in this section).
Motor Removal
To remove motor:
1. Remove the filter cover and metal grease filter (see the “Metal
Grease Filters” section in the “Range Hood Care” section).
2. Disconnect the blower motor wiring at the 9 pin connector.
3. Locate the special ½" (13 mm) tool inside the range hood
blower housing in the left front corner behind the insulation
pad. Use it to loosen the 4 nuts located inside the blower
housing that mounts the motor to the module top cover.
4. Grasp the motor plate and slide the motor toward the back of
the module housing to the large openings in the keyhole slots.
5. Remove the motor from the range hood.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
canopy hood will be installed.
2. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24"
(61.0 cm) for an electric cooking surface, a minimum of 30"
(76.2 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a suggested
maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom of
the hood. Mark a horizontal reference line on the wall.
3. Measure up from the horizontal mounting height reference
line 21
¹⁵⁄₁₆
" (55.7 cm) and draw a parallel horizontal line.
Measure from the centerline 4
⁵⁄₈
" (11.8 cm) in each direction
along the upper horizontal line. Mark the centers for the
fastener locations.
IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wall wooden
support structure. If there is no wooden support structure to
screw into, additional wall framing supports will be required.
This mounting structure must be capable of supporting
100 lbs (45.4 kg).
