INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

1.If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to upper cabinet or rear wall. Slide cardboard or hardboard under range before moving range across floor to prevent damaging floor covering. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage

or dirt.

2.Determine which venting method (roof or wall venting or non-venting) you need to use. This range hood is shipped for non-vented installation.
