INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

It is recommended

that the vent system be installed before

hood is installed.

Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a

joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting

frame must be

constructed.

•

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.

1. Disconnect

power.

2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non-

vented.

3. Select a flat surface for assembling

the range hood. Place a

covering over that surface.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

range hood.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto a covered

surface.

5. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the

canopy hood will be installed.

6. Select a mounting height between a minimum of

30" (76.2 cm), and a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm)

above the cooking surface and mark a reference line on the

wall.
