Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist
or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types
of walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the
materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
I
CAUTION
For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the
bottom is at least 30” (76.2 cm) above the cooking surface.
For electric/induction cooktop & range installations:
Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 24” (61 cm) above the
cooking surface.
There is no maximum mounting height, however, we recommend
mounting the hood no greater than 36” (91.4 cm) above the
cooking surface. For every inch (2.54 cm) above 36” (91.4 cm),
fume and moisture capture efficiency diminishes at an increa-
sing rate and may not deliver an acceptable level of ventilating
performance.
This hood is intended for household use.
PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR SPECIFIC
APPLICATION. Check your ceiling height and hood height
before selecting your hood.
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.
