Preparation Before Installation

NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT

DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.

Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside. Refer to Figure 1.

A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.

Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.

Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation before installing.

Important: Peel protective film off the hood, if any.

Figure 2

Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: If moving the cooking range is

 

 

necessary to install the hood, turn off the power in

 

 

an electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT

 

 

OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.

 

 

And use a protective covering to protect cooktop

 

 

and/or countertop from damage.
