4. It is recommended that the blower assembly be removed to
make the range hood lighter and easier to install.
To remove:
Disconnect blower wiring plug.
Loosen, but do not remove, knurled nuts on mounting
rods. Slip rods out of blower mounting brackets.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, do not grasp blower by
blower wheels.
Lift blower out and set aside.
5. Depending on your installation, remove either back or top
wiring knockout.
6. For vented installations:
Check that the louver cover is installed in front of hood.
Depending on your installation, remove either top or rear
rectangular vent knockout. If using round vent, remove
top rectangular knockout.
NOTE: Do not remove rectangular knockouts if
installation of range hood is to be non-venting
(recirculating).
If using rectangular vent, attach rectangular damper/vent
connectors to the range hood using 2 black sheet metal
screws.
If using round vent, attach vent transition piece
(purchased separately) to range hood top using 2 black
sheet metal screws.
NOTE: If the wall cap is directly behind the vent connector,
the dampers in the connector and wall cap must not interfere
with each other. Remove the vent connector damper if they
interfere.
