INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

■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.
