INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
NOTE: 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 exhaust vent.
1. For vented installations, determine which venting method to
use: roof or wall.
2. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
3. Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood onto covered
surface.
4. 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. Either wiring hole can be
used.
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 7½" (19.0 cm) from the right of the centerline on
the underside of the cabinet. Mark the point on this line that is
2" (5.0 cm) from back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.0 cm) diameter hole
through the cabinet at this point.
To wire through rear wall:
Mark a line 7½" (19.0 cm) from the right of the centerline on
the wall. Mark the point on this line that is ¾" (1.9 cm) from
underside of cabinet. Drill a 1¼" (3.0 cm) diameter hole
through wall at this point.
Style 1 - Cut Openings for 3¼" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)
Rectangular Vent System
Roof Venting
To make a 4" x 10½" (10.2 cm x 26.7 cm) rectangular cutout on
the underside of cabinet top and bottom:
1. Mark lines 1½" (3.8 cm) and 5½" (14.0 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.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the underside of the top of the cabinet.
