Preparation before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,
PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING
THE VENT OPENING.
Decide the location of the venting pipe
from the hood to the outside (Figure 1).
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood
to perform more efficiently.
Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows,
and long runs as possible.
elbows and/or long runs may reduce the
performance of the hood.
Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper
operation before installing.
Important:
Peel protective film off the
hood and duct covers, if any.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
Advance Planning
1. Mark centerlines of cook top or range on
ceiling. Use centerlines marked on ceiling
to position the mounting template as shown
in Figure 2.
2. Remove and save template.
remove ceiling drywall. Install 2" x 4" cross
framing lumber (not provided) between
ceiling joists.
3. The framing should be spaced 13-1/2" at
the front centerline and 11-1/8" on the sides.
Refer to Figure 3.
4. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross
framing lumber.
5. Align the mounting template to the ceiling
marks and tape in place with consideration
to ceiling joists and cross framing lumber
locations. Cut a 8-1/4" duct opening and
approximately a 1" wire access hole. Pre-
drill holes for the 4 mounting screws as
indicated on the template.
