IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Installation Clearances

■It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located inside the range hood on the rear wall.

■Range hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents.

■Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Consult your cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions before making any cutouts.

■Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.

■The hood is factory set for vented installations. For recirculating installations, Recirculation Kit Part Number 4396565, including vent cover and 2 charcoal filters, is available from your dealer.

■All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be installed must be sealed.
