INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT
▪
Install the 6" round adapter/damper on top of the hood using four (4) no. 8 x 7/16" mounting screws.
▪
Align the hood and center it above the hood mounting bracket. Gently lower the hood until it securely
engages into the bracket.
▪
With the hood hanging in place, drill through both holes located at the back of the hood using a 5/16"
drill bit (see Fig. 2).
▪
Insert the included drywall anchors into the drilled holes (one for each hole). Insert two (2) no. 8 x 1¼"
mounting screws in two (2) washers, then insert into the drywall anchors. Verify that the hood is
centered and leveled. Tighten all screws completely.
▪
Remove protective plastic film covering the lower chimney only.
▪
If possible (when space is sufficient), install the lower chimney bracket to the chimney using two (2)
no. 8 x 7/16" mounting screws, making sure that the slots point up (see Fig. 3).
▪
Carefully place both chimneys on top of the hood. NOTE: Slightly slide up the upper chimney to avoid
damaging it.
▪
Slide a 6" metal round duct over the adapter/damper (see Fig. 2). Use metal foil duct tape to seal the
joint.
▪
Plug the
hood’s
power cord into the outlet.
▪
Slide up the upper chimney until it is aligned with its mounting bracket. The bracket must be inside the
chimney. Secure the upper chimney to its bracket using two (2) no. 8 x 7/16" mounting screws.
