HOOD PREPARATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For low-profile wall hoods using the
500 CFM internal blower, refer to installation instructions
provided with the blower assembly. Install the internal
blower prior to mounting the hood.
If a duct cover is to be used, follow the instructions on
page 9 before installing the hood. If you are installing a
recirculating kit, refer to instructions included with the kit
before installing the hood.

Remove the filters by pushing each filter up at the
angle it is placed in, and rotate down. Refer to the
illustration below. Remove the center filter first. Gloves
should be worn when handling filters.
•
If you are using an in-line or remote blower, attach the
optional 10" (254) round transition or custom piece to
the top of the wall hood using holes provided.
•
If you are installing an in-line or remote blower, drill a
7
/
8
" (22) hole through the wood framing for the conduit.
Refer to the illustration below for location of the hoods’
electrical box. Refer to the in-line and remote blower
sections on pages 20–21 and follow installation
instructions provided with the blower.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not run electrical wiring for an
in-line or remote blower through the ductwork.
Framing must be tied together and to ceiling joists to
provide enough structural strength to support the
weight of the hood and internal blower, if applicable.
