Install Range Hood In-Line (External Type)
NOTE: Your range hood requires you to purchase either an
internal type or an in-line (external type) blower motor system.
See "Blower Motor System" in the "Accessories" section.
A
Prepare for Mounting the In-Line Blower System
The in-line blower system must be fastened to a secure structure
of the roof, ceiling, wall, floor, or new or existing frame
construction. The 4 holes on either the inlet (bottom) side or the
outlet (top) side of the blower must be used to mount the in-line
blower system to the structure.
NOTE: The mounting hole locations must span the studs.
B
Additional stud framing may be required. Plywood may be used
to span open areas between ceiling joists or roof rafters to aid
installation. This structure must be strong enough to support the
weight of the in-line blower system (50 lb [22.6 kg] min).
Prepare the In-line Blower System
Use two or more people to move and install in-line
blower motor system.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

system to the mounting location.
