before hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

2. Depending on your model, determine which venting method
to use: roof, wall or non-vented (recirculating).
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Lift the range hood and set it upside down onto covered
surface.
5. If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each
side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.
