Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range hood

to determine the best routing for the vent duct.

It is recommended that the vent system be installed before

the range hood is installed.

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance

within the ceiling for exhaust vent.

Range hood is to be installed 24" (61.0 cm) min. for electric

cooking surfaces, 27" (68.6 cm) min. for gas cooking

surfaces, to a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above

the cooking surface.

Remove film from metal surfaces as needed prior to

assembly.

Check your ceiling height and the range hood height

maximum before you install 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

covering over that surface. Place two 3" (7.6 cm) high

spacers (not included) onto the covered surface.

NOTE: Cover the spacers to avoid damage to the range hood

surface.

WARNING

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 covered

spacers.

A. Covered spacers

B. Glass canopy

C. Ventilator assembly

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation

1. Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where the

range hood will be installed, considering the requirements for

ceiling support structures. See the "Location Requirements"

section. Make sure the range hood is centered over the

cooking surface.

2. Tape template in place on the ceiling at the marked

centerline. The line for the front of the range hood should be

parallel to the front of the cooktop.

3. Use a pencil to mark the mounting screws, wire access and

duct hole locations on the ceiling.

NOTE: Mounting hole locations should be into a ceiling

support structure capable of holding 80 lbs (36.6 kg).

Remove the template.

4. Drill 4 - ³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper

horizontal support.

Complete Preparation

1. Determine the required location for the home power supply

cable and drill a ½" (1.3 cm) diameter hole for wire access.

2. Run ½" (1.3 cm) conduit and wires or home power supply

cable according to the National Electrical Code or CSA

Standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be

enough ½" conduit and wires or home power supply cable

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

connection in the hood's electrical terminal box.

NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.

3. For vented installations only: Using a jigsaw or keyhole

saw, cut a 6½" (16.5 cm) diameter hole for the vent duct.

4. Attach the upper horizontal support bracket with 4 - 5 x

45 mm wood screws.

NOTE: Upper horizontal support screws must be into a

ceiling support structure capable of holding 80 lbs (36.6 kg).

A. Upper horizontal support
