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 venting 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.
Temporary wire the hood to test for proper operation before installing.
Important: Peel any protective film off the hood.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe sections.
Attach ducting transition to hood exhaust with six (3/16” x 1/2”) screws (included). Refer to Figure 2.
Hood Installation
1.Mark centerlines of cook top or range on ceiling above. Use centerlines marked on ceiling to position the mounting template as shown in Figure 3.
2.Remove and save template. Cut and remove ceiling drywall. Install 2” x 4” cross framing lumber (not provided) between ceiling joists. Refer to Figure 4. Consult a professional if you have difficulty or your installation is unique.
3.Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark the location of the ceiling joists and cross framing, or replace the mounting template in the position of the ceiling joists & cross framing.
4.Attach the support frame to the ceiling and securely fasten to the joists and cross framing with eight screws (not provided) as shown in Figure 4. Make sure screws are driven into center of joists and cross framing for maximum support.
