Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent. 1. Disconnect power. To wire through top: 1. Mark a line distance "A" from the right of the centerline on the underside of the cabinet. Mark the point on this line that is 2.2 cm) from back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the cabinet at this point. 2. Depending on your model, determine which venting method to use: roof, wall or non-vented (recirculating). 3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place covering over that surface. 4. Lift the range hood and set it upside down onto covered surface. 5.
