Range Hood Installation
Installation
Installation - Ducting version
After having chosen the vent option, proceed as
follows:
•
Prepare duct and conduit cut outs as needed.
•
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding
or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide
easier access to rear wall. Otherwise put a thick,
protective covering over countertop, cooktop or
range to protect from damage and debris. Select
a flat surface for assembling the unit.
Cover that surface with a protective covering and
place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
•
Determine and mark the centerline on the wall
where the canopy hood will be installed.
Select a mounting height comfortable for the user
and mark on wall.
•
Prepare duct and conduit cut outs as needed.
•
Remove the duct knockouts using a flat blade
screwdriver and a small hammer.
Use the screwdriver by knocking out the pannel in
similar fashion to a scalpel.
Take care of sharp edges.

Attach exhaust adaptor/damper over knockout open-
ing with three exhaust adaptor screws. Make sure
damper pivot is nearest to top/back edge of hood.
Remove tape from damper flap.
NOTE:
The exhaust adaptor/damper can be installed
up to 1 inch on either side of the hood center to ac-
commodate offcenter ductwork. In extreme offcenter
installations, one end of the duct connector may need
to be trimmed to clear the electrical cable clamp.
