■
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range
hood is properly grounded.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■
It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
hood is installed.
■
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a
joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
■
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. If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear
wall. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over
countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non-
vented.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Cover
that surface with a protective covering..
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto protective
covering.
5. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
canopy hood will be installed.
6. Select a mounting height between a minimum of
30" (76.2 cm), and a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm)
above the cooking surface and mark a reference line on the
wall.
