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

Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation

1.Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the range hood will be installed.

Based on the ceiling or soffit height, determine the distance “X” (30" [76.2 cm] min, suggested 36" [91.4 cm] max) needed between the cooking surface and the bottom of the range hood. To this distance, add 15¹⁄₈" (43.8 cm) and draw a horizontal line (A) about 24" (61.0 cm) long centered on the vertical centerline (B) at this distance.
