Advanced Preparations:

Be familiar with the controls of the range hood by reading through
Range Hood Operations
,
Page 12.
•
Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect the range hood to a designated standard outlet (120-
Volt, 60Hz, AC only) and turn on the range hood. Verify all operations of the range hood by referring to
Range

Page 13.
•
Place all supplied parts and required hardware on a flat, stable surface .
Preparations:
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.
• 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.
• IMPORTANT: Peel white plastic protective coat off the hood, if any.
• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
• For installing under the cabinet with recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not provided) on
each side. Refer to Figure 1.
• Using references in
Measurements and Diagrams
on Page 16, create access opening for electrical wires and
hood exhaust under the cabinet.
CAUTION: If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn OFF the power on an elec-
tric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.
• If necessary, attach two rubber stands with 3M adhesive tapes to the back corners of the hood.
