3.Drill ³⁄₃₂" (2.4 mm) pilot holes for installation into wood. The screws provided are for mounting the range hood into wood.

Mounting into drywall or plaster is not recommended.

4.Attach each bracket to the wall with 2 - #10 Phillips head mounting screws. Tighten screws securely.

Complete Preparation

1.Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the vent system. Install the vent system before installing the range hood. See the “Venting Requirements” section.

2.Determine the location where the power supply cable will be run through the wall.

NOTE: For wiring flexibility, the terminal box is external to the range hood motor. About 24" (61.0 cm) of wire connects the terminal box to the range hood motor.

Check that the lower chimney cover will hide the selected location.

3.Drill a 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.

4.Pull enough power supply cable through the wall to allow for easy connection to the terminal box.

4.Install the 2 vent extension pieces onto the diverter pushing them until they stop.
