Make sure the distance between the stove top and the bottom of the hood is within 28 to 31” for electric ranges

Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
Touching electrical connectors or other exposed electrical circuitry inside this range hood when they are energized
could result in death, injury or property damage.
