INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■
It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
hood is installed.
■
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
■
Check that all installation parts have been removed from the
shipping carton.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall or rear
exhaust.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
Optional Backsplash Installation
The following instructions are for the backsplash without shelves.
If you are installing the Optional Backsplash with Shelves for Heat
Lamps, follow the instructions included with that product.
The hardware package supplied with the kit includes 4 plastic
wall anchors and mounting screws.
NOTE: The minimum height of the hood above the cooktop is
30" (76.2 cm). The backsplash can be extended from 19
²³⁄₃₂
"
(50.1 cm) to 39" (99.1 cm). As the 30" (76.2 cm) installation
height increases, the hood’s capture area decreases.
■
Determine height of the hood.
■
For ease of installation, use 2 or more people to position the
backsplash on the wall so that the top of the backsplash is at
the height of the bottom edge of the hood. Mark the location
of the four corner holes. It is recommended that the
backsplash be attached to the wall at all four corners.
However, the lower flange can be secured between the wall
and backspash, countertop or cabinet base without using the
bottom corner screws.

Position the holes in the backsplash over the wall anchors
and attach using the screws supplied.

2. Turn the hood over and remove the screws holding the
exhaust blower assembly to the hood.

facing out the back of the hood.
