Installation Instructions
We recommend that a qualified technician install the range hood. It is
the installer’s responsibility to ensure the range hood complies with the
installation clearances specified for the product.
Preparing the Location

We recommend you install the vent system before you install the hood.
•
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within
the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
•
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you
select your hood.
