9. Remove the range hood’s wire compartment cover. It is held in place by 1 screw.
Place the cover and screw somewhere safe until needed.
10. Remove the range hood’s blower. Use a 3/8” nut driver or ratchet to remove
the 4 nuts holding it in position (Fig. 1). Place the blower and nuts somewhere
safe until needed.
11. Turn the hood right side up so you can see the duct knockouts and mounting
holes.
Cabinet Preparation for Hood Support
Mount the hood so that the bottom of the hood is between 24”-30” above the
stovetop.
Warning!
When cutting or drilling into wall or cabinet, be careful not to cut
existing electrical wiring.
1. If the bottom of the cabinet is recessed above the bottom of the cabinet
door, then it is necessary to install wood strips on each side of the
recessed area on the bottom of the cabinet where the range hood will
be mounted. The wood strips should line up with the 4 keyhole slots on
the top of the range hood. Fasten the wood strips with wood screws
about 3” in from each end.
Note:
The thickness of the wood strips should be slightly more than the
recessed dimension. The length should be cut to size.
2. Measure and mark the electrical wiring opening in the wall or the
cabinet. If the hood is to be vented, also mark and measure the duct
opening in the wall or cabinet.
