INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• It is recommended for the vent system to be installed before hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or walls for the
exhaust vent.
• Disconnect the power.
• A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased
separately) must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow when connecting to
provided duct.
• Place a thick, protective covering over the countertop, cook top or range to protect from damage
or dirt.
• Remove any hazardous objects around the area when installing.
• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is
needed.
IMPORTANT:
•
NEVER
exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling,
attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
• Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
• Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified silver tape or duct
tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
IMPORTANT:
This installation is for mounting the product to a wall. Ensure your wall has the proper sup-
port to hold the range hood weight (RHW-3052 30in - 37.5 lbs / 17 kg, and RHW-3652 36in -
41.9 lbs / 19 kg. These instructions are general guidelines; please consult your installation
specialist regarding the best type of mounting hardware and support system based on
your wall construction. All wall-mounted range hoods, if possible, should be installed and
supported by studs behind the wall (hardware not included). In the event studs are not in
alignment with the wall mount mounting plate holes, a wooden cross support system will
need to be retrofitted to your existing studs. All homes are different, and installations will
vary.
WARNING:
Excessive Weight. At least 2 people are required to move and install this range hood. Spinal
or other bodily injuries may occur if this warning is not observed.
