PLANNING INSTALLATION

Number of people required: 2 or more
Carefully check the range hood for damage and for missing parts
prior to installation. If there is any damage or if you are missing parts,
do not proceed with the installation. Report damage and missing
parts immediately. Do not dispose of packaging before you are
satisfied with your new range hood.
1. Before installation, measure all distances to ensure the proper
position of the range hood (A).
□ The distance (1) from the cooking surface to the range hood
must be at least 458 mm (18 in.). For the best performance,
do not install the range hood more than 710 mm (28 in.)
above the cooking surface.
□ The distance (2) from the floor to the cooking surface should
be approximately 914 mm (36 in.).
□ The size of the range hood installation location must be at
least 757 mm (29.8 in.) wide (3), 458 mm (18 in.) deep (4)
and 127 mm (5 in.) high (5) to accommodate the range hood.
2. If the bottom of the cabinet (6) above the location where the range
hood is to be installed is recessed, attach appropriately sized wood
filler strips (7) on each side using wood screws.
3. Screws are provided to secure the range hood to most types of
cabinets, but consult a qualified installer to verify that the supplied
screws are suitable for your cabinets.
4. Put a thick, protective covering over your counter, cooktop, or
range to protect it from damage and dirt during installation.
Remove any hazardous objects around the area.
5. If you decide not to use the charcoal filter provided for ductless
installation, you must use a venting system that vents to the
outdoors.
a. Determine if your existing venting system is top venting or back
venting, and ensure that the openings in the cabinet or wall for
the damper and for power access are in appropriate locations
and are of appropriate sizes, as decribed below.
b. If this is a new installation, choose the venting method that suits
your needs. Cut out openings for the damper and for power
access in the cabinet bottom or exterior wall, depending on the
direction of venting chosen.
For top venting:
□ Cut a rectangular hole (8) with a width of 260 mm (10 1/4 in.)
and a depth of 90 mm (3 1/2 in.) in the bottom of the
cabinet. Center the hole on the center line (12) of the cabinet
with its back edge 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the back wall. t
□ Cut one circular hole (9) of a diameter of 32 mm (1 /4 in.).
Center the hole 185 mm (7 1/4 in.) from the center line (12)
of the cabinet and 39 mm (1 1/2 in.) from the back wall.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and gloves
during installation.
