INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.

2.Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non- vented.

3.Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place covering over that surface.

Prepare LocationWARNING

Use two or more people to move and install range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

4.Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.

8.Mark centers of the fastener locations through the template to the wall.

IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wood. If there is no wood to screw into, additional wall framing supports may be required.

Remove the template.

9.Drill ³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws are being installed into wood.

¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw head to slide range hood into place.

Complete Preparation

1.Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the vent system. Install the vent system before installing the hood. See “Venting Requirements” section.

2.Determine the required height for the home power supply cable and drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.

3.Run the home power supply cable according to the National Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be enough ½" conduit and wires from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.

NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
