Installing The Range Hood; Preparing The Installation Location - Broan BUEZ3 Series Instructions Manual

Roof Cap Discharge: Cut a hole in roof slightly larger than duct size being
used. Trim shingles around hole so that they will fit snugly around hood of
cap when cap is installed. Assemble the ductwork and tape all joints. Run
ductwork down to hood location. Make sure that enough duct runs into the
room so that the duct will overlap damper/duct connector when hood is put
into place. Leave 3/4" of duct projecting above roof surface on high side.
Trim duct parallel to roof pitch and seal all around duct with roof cement.
Carefully trim shingles and slide back of roof sheet under shingles. Nail
roof sheet to roof under shingles at top two corners and two sides. Nail
sheet directly to roof in four places at bottom.
Using roof cement, seal all nail heads and shingles which were cut or
lifted. Do not seal bottom edge of roof sheet.

INSTALLING THE RANGE HOOD

This manual covers 2 kinds of installation: the standard (without EZ1
brackets) and the EZ1 one-person installation system. For the standard
installation, go to page 4.
EZ-1 ONE-PERSON INSTALLATION SYSTEM
If the cabinet is wider than the range hood width, please use the
standard installation method.
Using pliers, break EZ1 brackets apart. Use the appropriate brackets
according to the kitchen cabinet type. Refer to the marking on the
