Installation Details Continued
4) Remove the hood from its packaging and place the back of the hood on the floor or countertop in front of the wall
where it will hang.
5) Remove the duct cover from its packaging. Remove the duct cover mounting screws from the top of the hood. Place
the duct cover on the top of the hood and secure it to the hood using the mounting screws previously removed. Lift
the hood and duct cover assembly to the location on the wall where it will be installed and lightly mark the wall with a
short, horizontal mark along the bottom edge of the hood.
6) Remove the hood and duct cover assembly from the wall. On the back side of the hood, measure the distance between
the bottom edge of the hood and the top edge of the wood mounting strip. Measure this distance above the horizontal
line made in Step 5 and lightly mark the wall with a level, horizontal line. Measure where the center (left to right) of the
hood will be and mark the upper, horizontal line on the wall with a short, vertical centerline.
7) Remove the screws inside the top of the back of the hood that retain the wood strip that is recessed in the mounting
channel. Remove the wood mounting strip from the back of the hood and place the top edge of the strip on the upper,
level horizontal line on the wall. Referencing the vertical centerline from Step 6, place the mounting strip on the wall
so it is centered (left to right) in the space where the hood will be located. Using proper hardware, attach the mounting
strip to at least two wall studs. Note: drill pilot holes in the wood strip to prevent splitting.
8) Hang the hood on the mounting strip by aligning the channel at the top of the back of the hood over the wood mounting
strip on the wall. While holding the hood in place, mark locations on the mounting strip through the two mounting
holes in the channel at the top of the hood. Remove hood and drill 3/32” pilot holes at the center of marks in the wood
strip to prevent splitting.
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
11) Cut a piece of duct of sufficient length to meet the duct in the ceiling allowing room to reach the transition outlet plus
1”. This will allow the transition to engage 1” inside of the duct. See Page 3 for transition height. One end of the duct
must be crimped to fit inside the duct in the ceiling. Position the non-crimped end over the transition and seal with
duct tape.
12) While securing the slack in the wire, lift the hood up to the wall and hang the hood on the mounting strip, taking care
to properly align the duct connection between the hood and the duct in the ceiling. NOTE: This joint cannot be sealed.
Secure the hood to the mounting strip by installing the screws (previously removed in Step 7) into the pilot holes drilled
in Step 8.
13) Refer to the Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light
functions to ensure they are operating properly.
9) Install electrical wiring from the service panel to the hood location. Consult the connection diagram (on previous page)
for further details on electrical placement. Extend wire to the hood.
10) Remove the junction box cover to access the internal wiring connections. Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical
wire clamp through the junction box electrical opening on top of the hood. Insert the electrical wire from the service
panel into the electrical wire clamp on the junction box. Tighten the wire clamp. Using UL listed wire nuts, attach the
“neutral” wire to the white lead, the “hot” wire to the black lead, and the ground wire to the green lead inside the junction
box. After making all connections, replace the junction box cover. NOTE: The junction box cover may be more easily
accessed by removing the factory-installed transition.
Warning: Make sure power is off and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
