Installation Instructions
Preparing the location
•
It is recommended that the installation of the exhaust system is carried out before the hood.
•
Before making cut-outs, make sure the separation distances for fittings in the cavities of the ceiling or wall
are adequate.
•
Before mounting the cabinet to the wall, it may be easier to cut the first opening in the cabinet.
