STEP 3: PREPARE DUCTWORK & SINGLE OUTLET
Make sure you have a 15amp, 120V, 60Hz, single outlet on the left or right
of the duct pipe (usually is on ¼ of cabinet width).
Make sure duct pipe is ready to hook up to the range hood before
beginning installation (8” diameter duct, and roof or wall cap, depending
on where you will be venting your hood).
STEP 5: ATTACH THE HOOD
A. Lift the hood up
and have it
placed below the cabinet. Make sure
to center the hood beneath the
cabinet.
TIP (optional)
: since the hood is
heavy, a cabinet or a car jack is highly
recommended.

Connect the exhaust on the hood to the ductwork. Wrap with aluminum tape to make all joints
secure and tight.
