To vent through the roof with 7" round vent, mark 4-1/2" and 5" in from back wall along the centerline on underside of cabinet. Use these points as centers to draw 7-1/8" circles on underside of cabinet. Use a saber saw to cut the openings for the ventwork. Repeat for the underside of the top of the cabinet. This will create slotted openings which makes it easier to install the vent system.

Repeat for the underside of the top of the cabinet.

To vent through wall with 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular vent, measure 1/8" and

3-5/8" down from underside of cabinet and mark on back wall. Measure and mark a line 5-1/4" to right and left of centerline, connecting the two lines. Use a keyhole saw and saber saw to cut a rectangular opening for the ventwork.

Lift range hood into final position, feeding electrical wire through wiring opening. Position the range hood so that the large end of the keyhole slots are over the screws. Then push the hood toward the wall so that the screws are in the neck of the slots. Tighten mounting screws to cabinet, making sure mounting screws are in narrow neck of slots. Make sure that damper blade, if used, rotates up and down freely.
