11 Installing the hood Outside rear exhaust (Horizontal duct- 3 1/4"x 10" Rectangular) • Use the diagram or the hood as a template and mark the locations on the cabinet for ductwork, electrical wiring and keyhole screw slots. Wood shims (recessed bottom cabinets only) Cabinet front 1/8" 7/16" NOTE: In order to change the vent lever position, you will need to pull the lever out slightly to clear the plastic tabs. Step 10 For recessed bottom cabinet only If the cabinets have front, side or back trim, make 2 wood shims the width of the trim and attach them to the cabinet bottom recess on both sides. See previous page for marking locations. 3 3/4" Cabinet bottom Horizontal duct access hole 5 1/4" 5 1/4" 12 7/16" 13 15/16" (30" Hood) 16 15/16" (36" Hood) 13 15/16" (30" Hood) 16 15/16" (36" Hood) Hood mounting screws (4) Center line Electrical access hole (in wall) Recirculating Use the hood as a template and mark the locations on the cabinet for the electrical wiring and keyhole screw slots. Since the hood is to be recirculated (not to be vented outside), do not cut out any vent openings in the wall or cabinet bottom. Step 9 Choose Venting Option The hood can be set to vent outside or to recirculate air back into the kitchen. Set for outside venting Stop tab Set for recirculating Stop tab Wood shims Step 11 Cut holes at marked locations for duct and electrical wiring. For the vertical duct, cut out 3/4" extra toward the front of the cabinet so you can move the duct freely when installing the hood. It may also ease installation by cutting the hole 10 1/ 2" instead of 10". Step 12 Drive a mounting screw (from the hardware packet) partway into each center of the narrow neck of the keyhole slots marked on the cabinet bottom. Step 13 Fix the wiring conduit to the hood. Step 14 Slide the hood back against the wall. Tighten the mounting screws. Be sure the screw heads are in the narrow neck of the keyhole slot. Connect Ductwork to hood. Hood shown Lying upside down The plastic vent lever is located near the center of the hood opening. To vent to the outside, make sure the plastic vent lever is in the HORIZONTAL position (flat against the metal top of the hood). To recirculate air into the kitchen, make sure the plastic vent lever is in the VERTICAL position (flat against the plastic blower housing).
