NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT
DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.
Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the
outside. Refer to Figure 1.
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more
efficiently.
Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as
possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.
Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation
before installing.
Important: Peel protective film off the hood, if any.
Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
CAUTION
: If moving the cooking range is
necessary to install the hood, turn off the power in
an electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT
OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.
And use a protective covering to protect cooktop
and/or countertop from damage.
1. The custom hood frame must be designed according to the
shape and the weight of the hood. Refer to Measurements
and Diagram on Page 13.
2. A sturdy base (3/4 inch thick plywood recommended) is
needed to sustain the weight of hood.
3. It is recommended to install front & rear stud support (not
included). Refer to Figure 2. For safety purposes, extra
installation holes on the side of the hood are provided.
Prepare the side stud support if needed.
4. Determine and mark the centerlines on the base of the wood
frame where the hood will be installed.
5. Location the proper location for the Power Supply Cable.
Make a wiring access hole using a drill bit. Install the wire
cable and seal the gap around hole.
6. Cut out the opening where the hood will be installed.

CAUTION
: If moving the cooking range is necessary
to install the hood, turn off the power in an electric
range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS
BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.
7. Choose the required vent option. The Round Exhaust
Plate is pre-installed for top vent.
8. For Top 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular installation only:
