Preparation before Installation
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. (Figure 1)
•
A straight, short venting 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.
•
Temporarily wire the hood to test for
proper operation before installing. Refer
to step 8 & 9 and figure 8 on page 6.
•
Important: Peel any protective film
off the hood.
•
Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
•
If necessary, prepare back wall frame
with cross framing lumber for secure
installation. Refer to Table 1 and
measurements on Page 11 to decide
the level of the lumber. (Figure 2)
•
Loosen hood-mounting brackets at the
back of the hood, adjust brackets and
tighten screws as shown in Figure 3.
•
If necessary, remove the rubber stand
on the back of the hood and discard.

Hood Installation
CAUTION: If it is necessary to move the
cooking range to install the hood, be sure to
turn off the power on an electric range at the
main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS
BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.
1. Using references in Table 1 and
measurements on Page 11, mark the
leveling locations point for hood-mounting
bracket on the wall.
2. Secure two mounting screws (not
provided) to the wall, leaving an 1/8”
space from the wall. (Figure 5)
3. Align the hood-mounting bracket to the
mounting screws on the wall and hang
hood into place.
