F. Preparing The Installation Location
1.If you want to move the electric range to make room for working on the cabinet turn off the 220 volt power for the electric range at the service entrance.
2.Before moving a gas range, shut off the gas.
NOTE: SKIP FOLLOWING STEPS 3A THROUGH 3D IF THE HOOD IS TO BE MOUNTED ON A CABINET WITH A FLUSH BOTTOM.
3.For installation onto a recessed bottom cabinet:
a.Measure the space (under the cabinet between the inside front edge and inside back edge (Fig.5). With a saber saw, cut two 1"x2" wood filler strips (purchased locally) to fill in the bottom of the cabinet.
b.Start a 1¼ " long wood screw (purchased locally) about 3" from each end of the 1"x2" wood strips (Fig.6)
c.Position the strips on the cabinet bottom and screw the strips securely to the cabinet (Fig.7)
d.For a more secure installation, drill four 3/16" holes from inside the cabinet, down into the wood filler strips. Insert screws into the starter holes in cabinet and tighten screws until wood filler strips are secured under cabinet.
4.Center the hood in place beneath the cabinet and flush with the front of the cabinet. Mark the following:
a. The six keyhole mounting slots for the hood. Mark these onto the bottom of
the cabinet; or, if the cabinet bottom is recessed. Onto the wood strips (Fig.7) b. The electrical knockout hole. (Fig.1)
