required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
NOTE: For vented installations, it is recommended that the vent
system be installed before hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
1. For vented installations, determine which venting method to
use: roof or wall.
2. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
3. Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood onto covered
surface.
4. If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each
side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.
Determine Wiring Hole Location
Cut only one 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole. See Step
2 for wiring hole location instructions. Either wiring hole can be
used.
1. Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall
and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.
2. To wire through top:
Mark a line 7½" (19.0 cm) from the right of the centerline on
the underside of the cabinet. Mark the point on this line that is
2" (5.0 cm) from back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.0 cm) diameter hole
through the cabinet at this point.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
