Clearance
8. Clearance is the distance between the cooktop and the bottom of the range hood. The recommended
minimum clearance for this model is 26” and the maximum clearance is 30”.
9. It is important to install the hood at the recommended clearance. Installing too low could result in
damage and/or fire hazard while installing too high may result in reduced performance and efficiently.
Hood Installation
10. The hood has to be installed inside the cabinet. It is
recommended to install a front and rear stud support. Refer to
Figure 1. The stud supports are located 1-
1/2” from the rear
and 2” from the front.
11. Determine and mark the centerlines on the base of the wood
frame where the insert will be installed.
12. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall or ceiling of
the ductwork. Note: Install the duct work before installing the
insert.
13. Cut out the opening where the insert will be installed. Refer to
Figure 2.
14. Slide the hood to the opening.
15. Locate the screw holes (4) on each side of the insert. Adjust the
level of the hood casing support according to the thickness of the
base.
16. Secure the hood using the screw holes that are located at the
front and back of the unit (screws provided). Refer to Figure 3.
17. Make sure the hood casing support is secure before releasing.
Ductwork
18. Attach the vent adapter to the exhaust opening using 4 x 8 mm
screws.
19. Connect the pipe to the vent adapter and seal the joint with duct
tape. Make sure it is completely airtight.
Electrical Wire
20. Connect the range hood to an outlet.
21. If hardwired is desired, cut off the plug and connect three wires
(black, white, green) to the outlet wires and cap with wire
connectors. Connect the wires according to color (ex: black to
black).
Finish
22. Remove any protective film from the hood, if any.
23. Before using, make sure that any accessories such as baffle filters are properly installed where
applicable.
24. Test the range hood to see if it is working properly.
THIS RANGE HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES. BEFORE CONNECTING WIRES, SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE PANEL
AND LOCK SERVICE PANEL TO PREVENT POWER FROM BEING SWITCHED ON ACCIDENTALLY.
