Installation Instructions
We recommend that a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the
installer's responsibility to ensure the range hood complies with the instal-
lation clearances specified for the product.
Preparing the location
• We recommend you install the vent system before you install the hood.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within
the ceiling or wall for vent fittings.
• If the cabinet you are attaching the hood to is not mounted on the wall
yet, it may be easier to attach the cutout to the bottom of the cabinet
before mounting the cabinet on the wall.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood.
Place a covering over that surface.
WARNING
EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD
USE TWO OR MORE PEOPLE TO MOVE AND INSTALL THE RANGE
HOOD. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN BACK OR OTHER
INJURIES.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood onto a covered surface.
5. If the cabinet has a recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each
side to fill in the space. Install screws to attach filler strips in the loca-
tions shown in the illustration at the top of the next column.
NOTE: All the screw locations must be measured from the cabinet's
centerline.
