Installation - Ductless (Recirculating) version
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
and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit.
Cover that surface with a protective covering and place
all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
2. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
canopy hood will be installed.
3. Select a mounting height comfortable for the user and
mark on wall.
4. Tape template, matching center-line and hood bottom as
shown in Figure below.
5. Place the lower support bracket on the template making
it coincide with the outlined rectangle, mark center of two
fastener location and one lower fastener location then
remove template.
6. Mark wall with horizontal line 1" above highest and 1"
below lowest fastener location.
7. Find studs behind drywall by tapping wall or using a stud
finder. Mark the center of the studs with a vertical line to
the right and left of the marked fastener location.
8. Note: All fastener location must span the studs
otherwise proceed as follows:
Cutout drywall along marked lines. Install wood blocking
between studs and make sure it is flush with existing
stud front. Make sure all mounting screws will anchor to
added studs. Replace drywall and refinish.
9. Determine the required height for the conduit and cut a
1-1/4" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
Run wires through hole according the National Electrical
Code or CSA Standards and local codes and
ordinances.
There must be enough power supply cable from the
fused disconnect (Or circuit breaker) box to make the
connection in the hood's Junction box/es.
Use caulking to seal all openings.
Do Not turn on power until installation is completed.
10. Remark center line and hood bottom on same location
as before and tape template on wall as in step 4 above.
