Installation
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 your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before
you select your hood.
1 Disconnect power.
2 Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or
nonvented.
3 Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.

Complete preparation
1 Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the
vent system. Install the vent system before installing the
hood. See “Venting Requirements” section.
2 Determine the required height for the home power supply
cable and drill a 1¼” (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
3 Run the home power supply cable according to the
National Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes
and ordinances. There must be enough ½” conduit and wires
from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the
connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.
4 NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
Use caulk to seal all openings.
