Installation Instructions
Prepare Location
• It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
the range hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for vent fittings.
• Making the cutout to the bottom of the cabinet may be easier
to do prior to mounting the cabinet to the wall.

Disconnect power.
2.
Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non
vented.
3.

covering over that surface.
WARNING:
Excessive Weight Hazard.
Use two or more people to move and install range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
