INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■ Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a
joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
■ Hood installation height above cooktop is the user's
preference. The lower the hood above the cooktop, the more
efficient the capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke.
■ Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum
before you select your hood.
1. If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
rear wall. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over
countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt.
