INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Prepare Location ■ Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range hood to determine the best routing for the vent duct. Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation ■ 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. 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. ■ 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 nonvented. 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. 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. WARNING 4. Drill 4 4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper horizontal support. 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. C 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).
