Before you start...
Proper installation is your responsibility:
• Have a qualified technician install this
range hood.
• Comply with installation clearances
specified on the model/serial rating
plate.
The model/serial rating plate is located
inside the range hood on the rear wall.
Range hood location should be away from
strong draft areas, such as windows, doors
and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are
shown must be used. Given dimensions
provide minimum clearance. Consult
your cooktop/range manufacturer
installation instructions before making
any cutouts.
Grounded electrical outlet is required.
See “Electrical requirements.”
The canopy hood is factory set for
venting through the roof or wall. To vent
directly through the wall, the blower
must be rotated to face the rear of the
range hood.
All openings in ceiling and wall where
range hood will be installed must be
sealed.
Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
