PREPARE THE CABINET

1.Disconnect and move freestanding range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to upper cabinet and rear wall. Put a thick, protective covering over cooktops, set-in ranges or countertops to protect from damage or dirt.

2.Determine and clearly mark with a pencil the center line of the cabinet on the wall and on the underside of the cabinet where the rangehood will be installed.

3.If the cabinet bottom is recessed, wood blocks need to be installed to insure proper alignment with the cabinet bottom. Wood blocks should be flush or recessed 1/16" to 1/8" within the cabinet bottom as indicated in FIGURE 4.

4.Determine the proper cutouts for the ductwork. Make all necessary cuts in the walls or cabinets for the ductwork. Install the ductwork before mounting the rangehood.

5.Determine and make the proper cutout for the Power Supply Cable. Use a 1 1/4" Drill Bit to make this hole. Run the Power Supply Cable through the wall or cabinet. DO NOT turn on the power until installation is complete. Use caulking to seal around the wire opening.
