Installation (Continued)
Mounting this range hood onto a vertical wall using the Range Hood Mounting Bracket:
Additional Points:

)
Attach the Range Hood Mounting Bracket onto the range hood body. (Recommended to
use an anti-vibration thread glue) Fasten screws securely. Figure 3.

)
Using references from the 'Height & Clearance' Page 6 and the 'Measurements &
Diagrams' Page 17 sections, temporarily mark the installation surface (wall) estimating the
position of the range hood along the bottom surface of the range hood to ensure its proper
clearance from the stove top, and also proper leveling.
3
)
Position the range hood body (with Range Hood Mounting Bracket) at its designated
mounting location using the marks made in the previous step, and then mark the entire
shape of each mounting hole.

)
Partially screw 2 mounting screws into the wall, in the position of the keyhole mounting
holes; allowing approximately 3/16-inch headspace to hang the Range Hood Mounting
Bracket onto the mounting screws.
Hang
the Range Hood Mounting Bracket onto the head
-
spaced screws using the keyhole mounting holes. Check position and leveling of the range
hood, and then tighten the mounting screws completely. Figure 5.

)
Check the leveling of the range hood, and then fasten additional mounting screws
through the various mounting holes along the lower (inside) rear panel of the range hood,
through the bare sheet metal. Use structural studs or solid braces to screw into where
possible. Avoid drilling into any wires, cables, components and critical fixtures.
CAUTION:
Make certain the range hood is secure before releasing! Finish tightening all screws
until secure. Be cautious when using an electrical screwdriver as damage to the range hood
may occur. Adding additional mounting screws through the bare sheet metal of the range
hood is suggested for this installation option; avoid drilling into wires, components and critical
fixtures. The power cord can be repositioned reusing the existing hardware. Figure 4.
•
For the stabilization of the range hood and safety of the users, it is recommended to use
pre-drilled mounting holes provided along the lower rear surface of the range hood. Use at
least 2 of these lower mounting holes, as widespread as possible, into a structural stud or
supportive brace within the wall.
•
Use 8-inch round metal duct (adhere to your local building codes) to connect the exhaust
duct of the range hood to the ductwork of your household. Use certified duct tape
equivalent or hardware to secure all duct joints and make air tight. Figure 6.

SAFETY WARNING:
Due to risk of electrical shock, this range hood must be properly
grounded. Ensure the electrical service supplied to this unit is installed or inspected by a
qualified electrician and in accordance with local and national electrical codes and
regulations. Before attempting to install this unit, connecting any power connections, or do
any servicing on this unit, turn off the main electrical switch (circuit breaker) at the service
panel, and consider locking the service panel so that it cannot be accidentally switched on.
•
Confirm there is no live power service; plug the range hood into your power socket. If you
are using a hardwired power cable configuration, hardwire the power cord inside an
electrical junction box, certified for use within your local codes.
•
Ensure excess wiring is managed with a wire tie and will not be damaged during normal
usage.
•
Install the Grease Catch by placing it into the inner, lower, rear ledge of the range hood
assembly. Ensure the orientation is as shown in the diagram: Figure 7. With opening of the
grease trap facing upward, and the extended lip towards the rear.
