Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range
hood to determine the best routing for the vent duct.
It is recommended that the vent system be installed
before hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper
clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Range hood is to be installed 24" (61 cm) min. for electric
cooking surfaces, 27" (68.6 cm) min.for gas cooking
surfaces, to a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above
the cooking surface.
Remove film from metal surfaces as needed prior to
assembly.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height
maximum before you select your hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or non-vented.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface. Place two 3" (7.6 cm) high
spacers (not included) onto the covered surface.
NOTE: Cover the spacers to avoid damage to the range
hood surface.

Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where the
range hood will be installed, considering the requirements for
ceiling support structures. See the "Location Requirements"
section. Make sure the range hood is centered over the
cooking surface.
2. Tape template in place on the ceiling at the marked
centerline. The line for the front of the range hood should be
parallel to the front of the cooktop.
3. Use a pencil to mark the mounting screws, wire access and
duct hole locations on the ceiling.
NOTE: Mounting hole locations should be into a ceiling
support structure capable of holding 80 lbs (36.6 kg).
Remove the template.
4. Drill 4 - 3/16" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper
horizontal support.
5. Remove template.
Complete Preparation
1. Determine the required location for the home power supply
cable and drill a 1/2" (1.3 cm) diameter hole for wire access.
2. Run 1/2" (1.3 cm) conduit and wires or home power supply
cable according to the National Electrical Code or CSA
Standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be
enough 1/2" conduit and wires or home power supply cable
from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make
the connection in the hood's electrical terminal box.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
3. For vented installations only: Using a jigsaw or keyhole saw,
cut a 61/2" (16.5 cm) diameter hole for the vent duct.
4. Attach the upper horizontal support bracket to the ceiling
with 4 - 5 x 45 mm #2 Phillips wood screws.
