within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
• Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum
before you select your hood.
• Disconnect power.
• Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or
nonvented.
• Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood.
Place covering over that surface.
