- Before making cuts, make sure there is proper clearance within the
ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
- Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you
select and install your hood. The hood installation height above the
cook top is your preference. A lower hood ensures more effective
capture of cooking odours, grease and smoke. The hood should be
installed between 45.7 cm (18 in.) and 68 cm (26.75 in.) above the
counter top.
- Mounting hooks are provided to secure the hood to most wall types.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the hooks,
screws and drywall anchors with your wall type.
- Due to the size and weight of this range hood, the support must
be firmly attached to the wall. For plaster or sheet rock walls, the
support must be attached to the studs. If this is not possible, a
support structure must be built behind the plaster or sheet rock. The
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for injury or damage caused
by improper installation.
- Put a thick, protective covering over your counter top, cook top
or range to protect from damage and dirt. Remove any hazardous
objects around the area when installing.
1. Find an optimal location to install the range hood. Mark the leveling
points of the two body hooks (fig. 1) on the wall and drill two holes.
Insert two toggle bolts and reserve approximately 6.3 mm (1/4 in.) for
the body hooks. Be sure to use appropriate anchors for your wall.
2. Use four sets of 5 mm x 16 mm screws with washers to install the
body hooks onto the hood (see fig. 2).
3. Install the duct set using six 4 mm x 16 mm screws (see fig. 3).
