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.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum
before you select your hood.
To avoid damage or dirt, place a thick, heavy covering over
countertop, cooktop, or range.
