Choose Venting Option
The hood can be set to vent outside or to recirculate air back
into the kitchen. The plastic vent lever is located near the
center of the hood opening.
To vent to the outside, make sure the plastic vent lever is in
the
HORIZONTAL
position (flat against the metal top of the
hood). To recirculate air into the kitchen, make sure the plastic
vent lever is in the
VERTICAL
position (flat against the plastic
blower housing).
NOTE
: In order to change the vent lever position, you will
need to pull the lever out slightly to clear the plastic tabs.

Install Strain Relief
A
Install a UL listed/CSA approved ½” (13 mm) strain relief over
one of the knockouts (A) according to the selected discharge.
Mounting the Hood
1
Drill pilot holes on the thin area of the previously marked
keyhole slots with a ¹/₈” (3 mm) drill bit.
2
Using 2 or more people, lift the hood into final position.
Feed enough electrical wire through the ½” UL listed or
CSA approved strain relief to make connections in the
terminal box. Tighten the strain relief screws.
3
Position the range hood so that the large end of
the keyhole slots are over the mounting screws.
Then push the hood toward the wall so that the
screws are in the neck of the slots. Install the .5
cm x 4.5 cm mounting screws in drywall anchors.

3
Tighten the mounting screws, making sure the screws are
in the narrow neck of slots.
4
Tighten the security screws to the wall.
5
For direct wire installations, run the home power supply
cable according to the National Electric Code or CSA
standards and local codes and ordinances. There must
be enough wiring from the fused disconnect (or circuit
breaker) box to make the connection in the range hood
electrical terminal box.
NOTE:
Do not reconnect power until the installation is
complete.
OPTIONAL:
If you prefer, bend the rear tabs against the
rear of the range hood and attach to the wall using #8-18 x
⁵/₈” (4.2 x 16 mm) truss-head screws.
Connect Vent System
1
Connect the vent work to the range hood.
2
Seal joints with vent clamps or duct tape to make secure
and airtight.
Check that the backdraft dampers work properly.
For recessed bottom cabinet only
If the cabinets have front, side or back trim, make 2 wood
shims the width of the trim and attach them to the cabinet
bottom recess on both sides.
See previous page for marking locations.
Wood shims
1
Cut holes at marked locations for duct and electrical
wiring. For the vertical duct, cut out 3⁄4” extra toward the
front of the cabinet so you can move the duct freely when
installing the hood. It may also ease installation by cutting
the hole 10¹⁄ ₂” instead of 10”.
2
Drive a 4.5 x 13 mm screw (from the hardware packet)
partway into each center of the narrow neck of the keyhole
slots marked on the cabinet bottom.
3
Fix the wiring conduit to the hood.
4
Slide the hood back against the wall. Tighten the mounting
screws. Be sure the screw heads are in the narrow neck of
the keyhole slot. Connect ductwork to hood.
