Complete Preparation 1. Determine the required height for the home power supply cable and drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) hole at this location. 2. Run the 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 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. Remove the grease filters. See the "Range Hood Care" section. 4. Remove terminal box cover and set aside. 5. Remove knockout from the top of the vent hood and install a UL listed or CSA approved ½" strain relief. Install Range Hood 1. Depending on your installation, remove either top or rear rectangular vent knockout. 4. Using 2 or more people, lift the hood into final position. Feed enough electrical wire through the ½" UL listed or CSA approved strain relief to make connections in the terminal box. Tighten the strain relief screws. 5. Position the range hood so that the large end of the keyhole slots are over the mounting screws. Then push the hood toward the wall (for cabinet mounting) or allow the range hood to slide down to the marked mounting height (for wall mounting) so that the screws are in the neck of the slots. Tighten the mounting screws, making sure the screws are in the narrow neck of slots. (For wall mount, check that the hood is level). 6. Connect ventwork to hood. Seal joints with clamps to make secure and airtight. 7. Check that back draft dampers work properly. Make Electrical Connection WARNING A A. Vent knockouts 2. Remove tape from damper flap. NOTE: The 3¼" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular damper can be installed up to 1" (2.5 cm) on either side of the hood center to accommodate off center duct work. 3.
