Complete preparation
1
Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the
vent system. Install the vent system before installing the
hood. See “Venting Requirements” section.
2
Determine the required height for the home power supply
cable and drill a 1¼” (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
3
Run the home power supply cable according to the
National Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes
and ordinances. There must be enough ½” conduit and
wires from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to
make the connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.
NOTE
: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
4
Use caulk to seal all openings.
