Prepare Location

1. If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to upper
cabinet or rear wall. Slide cardboard or hardboard under
range before moving range across floor to prevent damaging
floor covering. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over
countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage
or dirt.
2. Determine which venting method (roof or wall venting or
non-venting) you need to use. This range hood is shipped for
non-vented installation.
