(recirculating).
■
Make sure damper pivot is nearest to top/back edge of
range hood.
■
Remove tape from damper flap.
NOTE: The exhaust adapter/damper can be installed up
to 1" (2.5 cm) on either side of the hood center to
accommodate off-center ductwork.
■
If using rectangular vent, attach rectangular damper/vent
connectors to the range hood using sheet metal screws.
■
If using round vent, attach vent transition piece
(purchased separately) to range hood top using sheet
metal screws.
NOTE: If the wall cap is directly behind the vent
connector, the dampers in the connector and wall cap
must not interfere with each other. Remove the vent
connector damper if they interfere.
