INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unpack hood from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In
addition to the range hood you should have:
2 - Aluminum Grease Filters
5 - #8 Mounting Screws
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Lay the hood flat on a table so the underside is facing you. Use a piece of
cardboard to avoid damaging the table or the hood.
3. Remove the filters by grasping the tabs on the filters and lifting upward.
Remove the two light lenses by pushing in on the two tabs and lifting
upward (Figure 1).
Figure 1
4. Remove the six screws that secure the hood's bottom cover in place, then
carefully lift out the bottom cover (Figure 2).
Figure 2
5. Remove all cardboard inserts that might be in place during shipping along
with any plastic covering that might be on the hood's surface.
Prepare the location for Hood Support
1. If the hood will be installed under cabinets that have a recessed bottom,
it will be necessary to install wood mounting strips (not included) so the
hood will mount properly (Figure 3).

NOTE: DO NOT cover electrical or ducting areas with wood strips.
2. The thickness of the strips should be the same as the recess of the cabinet
and they should be approximately 2" wide.
3. Install the strips using appropriate length wood screws (not included). Make
sure the strips line up to the keyhole slots of the range hood.
Prepare the Hood for Installation
1. Choose the type of ducting you will require. This model is equipped to vent
either Vertically or Horizontally through a 3-1/4" x 10" duct. It can be modified
to be ductless (re-circulates the air back into the kitchen) with the addition
of a ductless kit (not included) that contains specific ductless installation
instructions. (Figure 4).

2a. Horizontal - Your hood is shipped ready for horizontal ducting and no
modifications need to be made. You can proceed to Step 3.
2b. Vertical - For vertical ducting you will need to remove and flip the damper
and damper frame assembly. To do this, remove the eight screws holding
the damper frame in place. Once the screws have been removed, flip the
damper to the vertical position and re-align the damper frame holes with
the holes in the hood and re-install the screws. Tighten fully to insure an
air tight fit. (Figure 5).

3. Determine where the electrical service will enter the hood and remove the
appropriate electrical knockout by inserting a screw driver into the slot
and rocking it back and forth until the knockout comes loose (Figure 6).

has been made, either hold the hood up to the installation location and mark
