INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
SECTION 1
Preparing the Range Hood
1. Unpack hood from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to
the range hood you should have:
1 - Aluminum Grease Filter
1 - 3-1/4"x 10" Damper
3 - Damper Mounting Screws
4 - #8 Mounting Screws
1 - Wire Compartment Cover and Screw
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
NOTE:
Some hoods may be shipped with a protective plastic adhered to the range
hood. It is recommended to leave this in place during installation to protect the hood
from scratching. Remove when the installation is complete.
2. Lay the hood flat on a table so the underside is facing you. Use a piece of
cardboard to avoid damaging the table or the hood.
3. Remove lamp cover by squeezing the two tabs together
(Figure 1):
4. Install a 60 watt maximum type A19 bulb and reinstall the lamp cover.
SECTION 2
Prepare the location for Hood Support
1. If the hood will be installed under cabinets that have a recessed bottom, it will be
necessary to install wood mounting strips (not included) so the hood will mount
properly
(Figure 2).
2. The thickness of the strips should be the same as the recess of the cabinet and
they should be approximately 2" wide.
3. Install the strips using appropriate length wood screws (not included). Make sure
the strips line up to the keyhole slots of the range hood.

SECTION 3
Prepare the Hood for Installation
1. Choose the type of ducting you will require. This model is equipped to vent either
Vertically or Horizontally through a 3-1/4" x 10" duct. It can be modified to be
ductless (re-circulates the air back into the kitchen) with the addition of a model
RF34 Charcoal Filter (not included) or vented through a 7" round duct with the
addition of a model E-22a or RDC7 Duct Collar (not included)
(Figure 3).
2a.
Horizontal or Vertical
- Remove the square knockout by inserting a screw driver
under the edge and break the tabs holding it in place. Peel back with pliers
(Figure 4).
2b.
Ductless
- Remove the hood’s front louver cover, exposing the front air slots. To
remove louver slide to one side and lift the trailing edge. Do not use a screwdriver
or any other object that could scratch the hood
(Figure 4).
2c.
7" Round
- Remove the round knockout located on the top of the hood by inserting
a screw driver under the edge and break the tabs holding it in place. Peel back
with pliers
(Figure 4)
.
3. Determine where the electrical service will enter the hood and remove the appropriate
electrical knockout by inserting a screw driver into the slot and rocking back and forth
until the knockout comes loose
(Figure 4).
SECTION 4
Installing the Range Hood
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
1. Once the proper knockout(s) have been removed, either hold the hood up to the
installation location and mark the locations of the ducting (if applicable), electrical,
and mounting holes or mark the locations by measurement.
2. Cut appropriate holes for ducting connection (if applicable) and electrical
connection in the wall/cabinet.
3. For 3-1/4" x 10" vertical or horizontal ducting, install the damper assembly to the hood
by sliding the tabbed section of the damper under the hood body and securing with
the two provided screws. For 7" round ducting, secure either a model E-22A or RCD7
Duct Collar (not included) to the hood with the three provided screws
(Figure 5).
