1. PREPARE THE INSTALLATION
When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
NOTE: Before proceeding to the installation, check the contents of the box. If items are missing or damaged, contact the manufacturer.
Make sure that the following items are included:
- Hood
- Accessories
• Decorative flue assembly (lower and upper flues)
• Hood mounting bracket
• Upper flue mounting bracket
• 2 micromesh filters
• 6" round adapter/damper (for vertical discharge), in a bag
• 3¼" x 10" adapter/damper (for horizontal or vertical discharge)
• Suction cup (taped to one of the GU10 halogen bulbs)
• Bag of parts including: 5 no. 8 x 1½" countersunk screws, 8 no. 8 x 3/4" screws, 6 no. 8 x 3/8" screws,
Parts sold separately:
- Duct, elbows, wall or roof caps.
- Optional flue extension for 10-ft. ceilings model FXE54BLS.
Before installation, remove and discard the shipping bracket (in grey) and its retaining

2. SELECT INSTALLATION TYPE
NOTE: During the installation, protect countertop and/or cooktop.
Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
Install proper-sized ductwork, elbows and roof or wall cap depending on the type of installation. For vertical discharge, use 6" round
or 3¼" x 10" ductwork and for horizontal discharge use 3¼" x 10" ductwork only. Use metal foil duct tape to seal duct joints.
The minimum hood distance above cooktop is 24" (30" over a gas range). A maximum of 30" above cooktop is recommended
for best capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 30" are at the installer and users discretion providing that ceiling height and decorative flue length allow it.
