10. Mount Range Hood

Lift the range hood into place, positioning the rear slots over

the mounting brackets.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, push on the screws that are

started into the top mounting tabs and bend the tabs against

the cabinet side walls. Attach the screws to the cabinet side

walls.

For direct wire installations, run the home power supply cable

according to the National Electric Code or CSA standards

and local codes and ordinances. There must be enough

wiring from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to

make the connection in the range hood electrical terminal

box.

Tighten the strain relief screws.

NOTE: Do not reconnect power until the installation is

complete.

OPTIONAL: If you prefer, bend the rear tabs against the rear

of the range hood and attach to the wall using #8-18 x ⁵⁄₈"

(4.2 x 16 mm) truss-head screws.

11. Connect Vent System

Connect the ventwork to the range hood. Seal joints with vent

clamps or duct tape to make secure and airtight.

Check that the back draft dampers work properly.

Grease Filter" in the "Range Hood Care" section.

For vented installations: Install a metal filter.

For non-vented (recirculating) installations: Install a

charcoal filter.

Check the operation of the range hood fan and light. See the

"Range Hood Use" section.

If the range hood does not operate, check to see whether a

circuit breaker has tripped or a household fuse has blown.

Disconnect the power and check the wiring connections.
