STEP 2 - PLAN INSTALLATION

The range hood will fit on walls between 7½' and 8½' depending on the mounting
height of the range hood.
Your range hood has been designed for use in both ducted and non-vented
(recirculating) installations. Follow the instructions specific to your installation
needs.
IMPORTANT: A non-vented (recirculating) installation requires an air deflector and
two charcoal filters. To purchase these parts for your range hood model, please
contact Haier Customer Service.
1. First, consider the following when calculating the mounting height.
•
The minimum mounting height - In general, the bottom of the vent hood
must be at least 24" (61 cm) from the range surface and 30" (76 cm) if
mounted above a gas range. Refer to the Installation manual for your range
for the required minimum mounting height.
•
Your eye level - Mounting the range hood at a height where the controls are
at eye level is usually most convenient.
•
Design - Factors such as symmetry, alignment within your cabinetry, and the
fit of the vent cover.
2. Measure:
•
The distance from the floor to the ceiling.
•
The distance from the floor to the countertop.
•
The required distance from the top of your range surface to the bottom of
the range hood.
