Installation Instructions; Prepare Location - KitchenAid KXW9748YSS Installation Instructions And Use & Care Manual

It is recommended that the vent system be installed
■
before range hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper
■
clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Range hood is to be installed 24" (61.0 cm) min. for
■
electric cooking surfaces, 30" (76.2 cm) min. for gas
cooking surfaces, to a suggested maximum of 36"
(91.4 cm) above the cooking surface.
Check your ceiling height and the range hood height
■
maximum before you select your range hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood.
Place covering over that surface.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
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.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where
the range hood will be installed.
2. Based on the ceiling or soffit height, determine the distance
"X" (24" [61.0 cm] min. from electric cooking surface or 30"
[76.2 cm] min. to gas cooking surface, suggested 36"
[91.4 cm] max.) needed between the cooking surface and
the bottom of the range hood. To this distance, add 17
(43.5 cm) and draw a horizontal line (A) about 24" (61.0 cm)
long centered on the vertical centerline (B) at this distance.
