INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
NOTE: For vented installations, 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.For vented installations, determine which venting method to use: roof or wall.
2.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.
3.Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood and set it upside down onto covered surface.
4.If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.

Determine Wiring Hole Location
Cut only one 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole. See Step 2 for wiring hole location instructions. Either wiring hole can be used.
1.Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.
2.To wire through top:
Mark a line 7½" (19.0 cm) from the right of the centerline on the underside of the cabinet. Mark the point on this line that is 2" (5.0 cm) from back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.0 cm) diameter hole through the cabinet at this point.

Centerline
To wire through rear wall:
Mark a line 7½" (19.0 cm) from the right of the centerline on the wall. Mark the point on this line that is ¾" (1.9 cm) from underside of cabinet. Drill a 1¼" (3.0 cm) diameter hole through wall at this point.

Style 1 - Cut Openings for 3¼" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) Rectangular Vent System
Roof Venting
To make a 4" x 10½" (10.2 cm x 26.7 cm) rectangular cutout on the underside of cabinet top and bottom:
1.Mark lines 1½" (3.8 cm) and 5½" (14.0 cm) from the back wall on the centerline of the underside of cabinet.
2.Mark lines 5¼" (13.3 cm) to the right and left of the centerline on the underside of cabinet.
3.Use saber or keyhole saw to cut a rectangular opening for vent.
