1. Turn the hood upside down on a protective covering such as cardboard or a
large towel. If the damper was installed on the top of the hood, ensure it is well
protected from damage for the next steps.
(a) Remove the aluminum filters by pulling the handles (Fig. 6).
(b) Remove the bottom panel by removing the 6 screws (Fig. 6).
(c) Ensure a good grip on the bottom panel when removing screws so they do not
fall into the unit.

2. Lift the range hood up under cabinet and determine final position. Mark the
location of the four keyhole mounting slots (Fig. 7a). Set range hood aside on a
protected surface. Drill 4 pilot holes in the marked positions.
