INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
NOTE: For vented installations, it is recommended that the vent
system be installed before hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Preparation
1. For vented installations, determine which venting method to
use: roof or wall.
2. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
3. Using two or more people, lift the range hood onto covered
surface.
4. If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each
side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.
Determine Wiring Hole Location
Cut only one 1
¹⁄₄
" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole. See Step
2 for wiring hole location instructions. Either wiring hole can be
used.
1. Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall
and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
