UNDER CABINET INSTALLATION PREPARATION • Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside. • Check hood for clearance. • A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently. • Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long runs as possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.
