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. (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 and duct covers, if any.

￿Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe sections.

Advance Planning

1.Mark centerlines of cook top or range on ceiling. Use centerlines marked on ceiling to position the mounting template as shown in Figure 2 and 3.

2.Remove and save template. Cut and remove ceiling drywall. Install 2” x 4” cross framing lumbers (not provided) between ceiling joists.

3.The framing should be spaced 10-1/8” at the front centerline and 8-3/4” on the sides to accept the mounting screw in mounting bracket. Refer to MEASUREMENTS & DIAGRAMS on pages 12.

4.Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark the location of the ceiling joists and cross framing lumber.

5.Align the mounting template to the ceiling marks and tape in place. Cut the 6-1/4” duct open and an approximately 1” wire access hole. Drill holes for the 6 mounting screws as indicated on the template.

6.Align the mounting bracket to the pre-drilled holes on the ceiling and securely fasten to the joists and cross framing lumber with 6 screws (not provided). Make sure screws are driven into the center of joists and cross framing lumber for maximum support.
