INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.
■If you are installing an optional backsplash or full width duct cover, follow the instructions included with that product.
■Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
■Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.
1.Disconnect power.
2.Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non- vented.
3.Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place covering over that surface.
WARNING
