Prepare Location
■
For vented installations, 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 vent fittings.
■
Check that all the installation parts and the box with filters
have been removed from the shipping carton.
Preparation
1. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Cover
that surface with a covering such as a blanket or cardboard
during assembly.
2. Using 2 or more people, slowly lift the range hood onto the
covered surface.
3. Tip range hood on its back to remove the metal filters. Turn
knob to the left (counterclockwise) and lift filters out.
4. Remove hardware package.
5. Add wood filler strips as needed to cabinet bottom. Drill

" (4.8 mm) clearance holes for hood mounting screws.
6. Cut a 6
¹⁄₂
" (16.5 cm) diameter hole in cabinet bottom as
shown.
7. Cut a 1
¹⁄₄
" (3.2 cm) hole for power supply cable.
8. Run wire through hole in accordance with the National
Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and
ordinances. There must be enough power supply cable from
the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the
connection in the range hood’s electrical box.
9. Use caulking to seal all openings.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn on power until installation is
complete.
Install Range Hood
1. Remove the terminal box cover (located on back wall of
hood) from the hood. Remove the power supply cable
knockout using a flat-blade screwdriver.
Attach strain relief in power supply cable opening so that
clamping screws are inside of range hood. Tip hood back to
its bottom surface.
2. If roof or wall cap does not have a damper, attach damper to
exhaust opening on top of the range hood using 2 small
screws from hardware package.
3. Place the range hood mounting screws close to the holes in
the cabinet bottom.
4. Lift range hood into place while feeding wiring through strain
relief.
5. Insert the screws through the clearance holes and start them
into the hood. Then, tighten screws securely.
6. Connect vent system, for either vented or recirculating, to
range hood.
7. Seal all joints with duct tape.
8. For recirculating installations, install the vent cover included
in Recirculation Kit Part Number 4396565 in soffit or cabinet
top vent opening.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
