INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

■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.
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.
10. Drill pilot holes in the chimney support mounting hole
locations for your attachment method.
11. Use a 1¹⁄₄" or 3.0 cm drill bit to drill the hole for the power
supply cable.
12. If venting to the outside, cut the hole for the vent system in
the ceiling and install the vent system. See “Venting
Requirements” section.
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.
15. Run wire through the 1¹⁄₄" (3.0 cm) electrical hole in the ceiling
according to the National Electrical Code or CSA Standards
and local codes and ordinances. There must be enough
power supply cable from the fused disconnect (or circuit
breaker) box to make the connection in the hood’s electrical
wiring box.
16. Use caulk to seal all openings.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
