INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PrepareLocation
■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.
■Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.
1.Disconnect power.
2.Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non- vented.
3.Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place covering over that surface.
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.
4.Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface. Tip the hood on its back and remove filters and set aside.
To remove filters:
Note: Use 2 hands to remove the filters, one to pull and turn the knob, the other to hold the filter so that it doesn’t fall.
■Pull knob forward (toward the front of the hood) while turning the knob counterclockwise to release the locking lever.
■Slide the filter down and away from the front retaining channel.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1.Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the range hood will be installed.
Based on the ceiling or soffit height, determine the distance “X” [24" (61.0 cm) min, suggested 30" (76.2 cm) max] needed between the cooking surface and the bottom of the range hood. To this distance, add 15¹⁄₈" (43.8 cm) and draw a horizontal line (A) about 24" (61.0 cm) long centered on the vertical centerline (B) at this distance.

2.Mark 2 points on each side of the horizontal line 4⁹⁄₁₆" (11.6 cm) from the vertical centerline.
3.Drill pilot holes.
■If installing into wood, drill 2 - ¹⁄₈" (3.2 mm) pilot holes.
■If installing into plaster or drywall, drill 2 - ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) pilot holes and insert drywall anchors flush with the wall.

4.Install the 2 - #10 Phillips head mounting screws. Leave a ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw head to slide range hood into place.

Chimney Support Bracket Installation
1.Place one of the chimney brackets against the wall so that its top edge is ¹⁄₁₆" (2.0 mm) from the ceiling or soffit and level.
Align the center notches of the bracket and the centerline. Mark the centers of the bracket holes.
