Kenmore 31130 Installation Manual page 10

NOTE
The following instructions are for the horizontal installation only. For a vertical installation, go to the "Install the hood" section on
page 11.
These Kenmore Elite Series range hoods are factory shipped with the blower mounted for a vertical discharge confi guration. For
a horizontal discharge confi guration, disassemble the blower from the inner top of the hood (see illustrations below). It will be
assembled to the inner back of the hood once the hood is mounted on the wall.
3. Uplug the blower.
4. Using a 5/16" socket, or a Robertson or a Phillips no. 2
screwdriver, remove all blower mounting screws from
the inner top of the hood. Set aside the blower and its
screws.
NOTE
If this hood replaces another one, please note that the location of the air exhaust can vary from one manufacturer to another. In
order to ease a retrofi t installation, the horizontal discharge may be positioned on higher OR on lower back of the hood.
5. According to your needs, the adapter/damper can
be installed to the higer or lower back discharge
using the upper screw holes on each side of the
adapter/damper. See illustrations beside.
6. Secure the adapter/damper to the back of the hood using 2 no. 8 x 3/8" screws (included). Seal the adapter/damper to the
hood using metal foil duct tape.
NOTE
The wall ducting must be properly prepared to receive the adapter. Before performing the installation, make sure the adapter
fi ts easily in the duct.
