INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PrepareLocation

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.

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

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.

4.Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface. Tip the hood on its back and remove filters and set aside.

To remove filters:

NOTE: Use 2 hands to remove the filters, one to pull and turn the knob, the other to hold the filter so that it doesn’t fall.

Pull knob forward (toward the front of the hood) while turning the knob counterclockwise to release the locking lever.

Slide the filter down and away from the the front retaining channel.

5.Slide apart the chimney covers.

NOTE: Do not remove the plastic covering on the chimney covers at this time. The covering protects the chimney during installation.

The chimney section of the hood is shipped assembled. It must be disassembled for installation.

6.Remove the lower chimney cover from the chimney support by removing the two Phillips screws on the outside bottom of the chimney cover.

7.Remove the upper chimney cover from the chimney support by removing the two Phillips screws on the outside top of the chimney cover.

8.Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where the hood will be installed, making sure that the hood is centered over the cooking surface.

9.Tape the template (supplied in the chimney support carton) to the ceiling and mark the mounting holes, electrical hole and vent location (if used) on the ceiling.

13.If venting to the outside, place the round damper into the exhaust opening of the vent motor housing.

14.Remove the 4 chimney support ceiling attachment bolts from the parts bag and install in previously drilled pilot holes. Leave screw heads about ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) away from ceiling joists.
