INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood
is installed.
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or
stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for vent fittings.

Preparation

1. If possible, disconnect and slowly move the freestanding
range from the cabinet opening to provide easier access to
upper cabinet and rear wall.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non-
vented.
3. Determine and clearly mark a centerline on the underside of
the cabinet.
4. Measure and mark lines as shown for your size of vent hood.
Use a saber saw or keyhole saw to cut an opening through
the underside of the cabinet.
The finished cutout size will be:
30" (76.2 cm) hood - 9³⁄₁₆" x 26¹⁄₈" (23.3 cm x 66.4 cm)
36" (91.4 cm) hood - 9³⁄₁₆" x 32¹⁄₈" (23.3 cm x 81.6 cm)
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install range.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
