Preparation before Installation

Figure 1

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 Figure 2 proper operation before installing. Refer

to figure 5 on page 6.

￿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.

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

3. The framing should be spaced 12-1/8” at the				Figure 3
front centerline and 14-1/4” on the sides to
accept the	mounting screw in the
telescopic	stack.	Refer	to
MEASUREMENTS		& DIAGRAMS	on
pages 14-15. Shown in Figure 3.

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 7-1/4” duct open and approximately 1” wire access hole. Drill holes for the 8 mounting screws as indicated on the template.
