INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
NOTE: 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.
1.Disconnect power.
2.Depending on your model, determine which venting method to use: roof or wall.
3.Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place covering over that surface.
4.Lift the range hood and set it upside down onto covered surface.
5.If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.

To wire through top:
1.Mark a line distance “A” from the right of the centerline on the underside of the cabinet. Mark the point on this line that is ⁷⁄₈" (2.2 cm) from back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the cabinet at this point.

To wire through wall:
1.Mark a line distance “A” from the right of the centerline on the underside of the wall. Mark the point on this line that
is ⁷⁄₈" (2.2 cm) from the underside of the cabinet. Drill a
1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the rear wall at this point.
Determine Wiring Hole Location
Cut only one 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole.
1.Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.

Cut Openings for 7" (17.8 cm) Round Vent
To make a circular vent openings on the underside of the cabinet top and bottom:
1.Mark a centerline on the underside of the top of cabinet.
2.Mark a line 5" (12.7 cm) from the back wall on the underside of the top and bottom of cabinet.
3.Use a compass or a circle template to draw a circle with a diameter that is ¼" (0.64 cm) larger than the vent.
