DETERMINE HOOD, DUCTWORK AND WIRING LOCATIONS
• This hood can be installed onto the wall or
underneath the soffit or cabinet.
• For installing the hood to soffit or cabinet, refer to
page 19 for alternate mounting method.
• A wall mounting template is included with the product
for ease of installation. Follow the instructions below
if the template is not being used.
• Measure desired distance from the bottom of the
hood to the cooking surface, 24" minimum over
electric range or 30" minimum over gas range and 36"
recommended maximum.
• Use a level to draw a horizontal line indicating the
bottom of the hood.
• Measure 16-3/4" up from the horizontal line indicating
the bottom of the hood. Draw another horizontal line
to indicate the bottom of the installation bar.
• Use a level to draw the cooktop or range centerline
location.
For Ceiling Ducting:
• If venting out the ceiling, extend the centerline
forward on the ceiling to the back wall.
- Measure 6-1/4" from back wall to mark center
point.
- Cut 8" dia. duct hole from center point on the
ceiling for 30" or 36" models.
- Cut 10" dia. duct hole from center point on the
ceiling for 48" models.
Venting Through a Soffit or Cabinet:
• Follow the same procedure for ceiling ducting to cut
the hole through the top of the soffit or cabinet.
House Wiring Location:
• The junction box is located inside the hood body
on the left side. See Illustrations for hood knockout
locations.
House wiring may enter the junction box from the rear
or the top of the hood on the left side.
To route house wiring through the ceiling, soffit or
cabinet:
• Cut a hole approximately 1-1/4" dia. forward on the
ceiling at a distance (X) to the left of the centerline
based on table below.
To route house wiring through the wall:
NOTE: For back venting, the house wiring must be
routed through the rear knockout so it is hidden.
• Measure 15-3/4" from the bottom of the hood and
mark location.
• Cut a hole approximately 1-1/4" dia. at the marked
location at a distance (X) to the left of the centerline
