Preparation
Advanced Preparations:

on Page,

Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect
the range hood to a standard outlet and test out all of
controls.
Place all supplied parts and required hardware on a
flat, stable surface and verify all the parts are included.
Carefully remove the white plastic protective coat from the range hood.
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. Refer to
Calculating Vent System Length on page
5
A straight, short vent 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 the pipe sections.
For installing under cabinets with a 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

, create an 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 electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS
RANGE.
Puncture the knockout holes (for mounting under the cabinet) on the hood as shown in
Figure 2.
If necessary, attach two rubber stands with adhesive tapes to the back corners of the
hood.
