INSTALLING THE HOOD ONTO THE WALL
1.
Disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range
from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
rear wall. Use a thick, protective covering over
countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage
and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the
unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering
and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
2.
Mark the centerline on the wall/ceiling where the
canopy hood will be installed.
Note:
Draw the line on ceiling if is intended to install
the supplied Duct Covers.
3.
Select a mounting height comfortable for the user
and mark on wall (minimum 28").
4.
Tape template, matching center-line and hood
bottom as shown in Figure below.
5.
Place the support bracket on the template to coinci-
de with the outlined rectangle, mark center of all
fastener location (Horizontal rear discharge requires
additional marks for venting passage). Remove
template.

Mark wall with horizontal line 1" above highest and 1"
below lowest fastener location. Using a carpenter’s
level.
7.
Find studs behind drywall by tapping wall or using a
stud finder. Mark the center of the studs with a
vertical line to the right and left of the marked
fastener location.
8. Note:
All fastener locations must attach to studs and/
or blocking, otherwise proceed as follows:
Cutout drywall along marked lines. Install wood
blocking between studs and make sure it is flush
with existing stud front. Make sure all mounting
screws will anchor to added studs. Replace drywall
and refinish.
9.
Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall
for the vent system. Install the vent system before
the canopy hood. See „Venting methods“ and
„Dimensions and clearance“ paragraphs.
IMPORTANT - for External blower installation
ONLY:
Run 10” round duct work from the external
blower to the ceiling. Before the duct work passes
through the ceiling bracket, use a 10” to 8” transition
adapter (included with external blower) and run 8”
duct work to the opening on the hood. The 8” duct
work run should not exceed 60” in length.
10.
Determine the required height for the conduit and
cut a 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
Run wires through hole according the National
Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes
and ordinances.
Note:
External blower installation requires and
additional hole/conduit.
There must be enough power supply cable from the
fused disconnect (Or circuit breaker) box to make
the connection in the hood’s Junction box/es.
Use caulking to seal all openings.
Do Not turn on power until installation is completed.
11.
Remark center line and hood bottom on same
location as before and tape template on wall as in
step 4 above.
12.
Mount the lower support bracket with wood screws
and washers (Supplied in mounting hardware kit)
