INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Prepare Location ■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before range hood is installed. Using 2 - 4 of the 6 x 80 mm screws, install wood support so that it is screwed into at least 2 vertical studs. ■ If you are installing the optional backsplash, follow the instructions included with that product. ■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent. ■ Check that all installation parts have been removed from the shipping carton. 1. Disconnect power. 15³⁄₈" (39 cm) A 2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall exhaust. 3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place "X" B covering over that surface. D 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 surface. Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation The range hood is attached to the wall with the wood support that is attached to the back of the range hood. 1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the canopy range hood will be installed. 2. Select a mounting height "X" between a minimum of 24" (61 cm) from electric cooking surfaces or 30" (76.2 cm) from gas cooking surfaces, and a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm), above the cooking surface and the bottom of the range hood and mark a horizontal reference line on the wall. 3. Remove the wood support from the back of the range hood by loosening the 2 screws from the inside. Locate and level the top of the wood support 15³⁄₈" (39.1 cm) above the marked horizontal line and centered on the vertical centerline. C A. Wood support B. Bottom of range hood C. Centerline D. Dimension "X" = range hood mounting height NOTE: The screws provided for mounting this range hood must be fastened into solid wood; do not fasten into sheet rock only. Complete Preparation 1. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall or roof for the vent system. Install the vent system before installing the range hood. See the "Venting Requirements" section. 2. Determine the location where the power supply cable will be run through the wall. 3. Drill a 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) hole at this location. 4. Pull enough power supply cable through the wall to allow for easy connection to the terminal box. 5. Install the 10" (25.4 cm) square x 10" (25.4 cm) round vent transition with damper to top or rear of the range hood (depending on your installation), using 4 - 3.5 x 9.5 mm screws. Remove the damper from the vent transition when mounting to the rear of the range hood. NOTE: There is a 8¾" (22.2 cm) flat cover plate mounted on the rear panel of the range hood. It must cover the exhaust opening in the rear panel of the range hood for top venting or be removed and reinstalled to cover the exhaust opening in the top panel for rear venting. 7
