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 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.

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.
