INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
hood is installed.
■ 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.
■ 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.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non-
vented.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Cover
that surface with a protective covering.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto protective
covering.
5. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
canopy hood will be installed.
6. Select a mounting height between a minimum of
30" (76.2 cm) and a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm),
above the range to the bottom of the hood and mark
reference line on the wall.
NOTE: For installation locations with reduced ceilings
heights, the vent hood may be installed using the upper vent
cover for both vented and non-vented (recirculating)
installations.
7. Tape template in place, aligning the template centerline and
bottom of template with hood bottom line and with the
centerline marked on the wall.
8. Mark centers of the 6 fastener locations through the template
to the wall.
IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wood.
Remove the template.
9. Drill ⁷⁄₆₄" (2.75 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws
are being installed into wood.
10. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the vent
system. Install the vent system before installing the hood. See
“Venting Requirements” section.
11. Determine the required height for the ½" conduit and drill a
1¼" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
12. Run wire through the ½" conduit according to the National
Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and
ordinances. There must be enough ½" conduit and wires from
the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the
connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.
13. Use caulk to seal all openings.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
14. Attach two mounting hooks to the wall at location marked on
the template.
