PREPARING THE HOOD
1. Unpack hood and check contents. You should receive:
1 – Aluminum filter (BUEZ0 and BUEZ2 hoods only)
1 – 3-1/4" x 10" damper/duct connector, mounted inside of hood for
shipping only (BUEZ0 hood only)
1 – Ductfree filter (BUEZ1 hood only)
1 – Installation parts bag (under wiring box cover)
1 – Set of EZ1 brackets (under wiring box cover)

& BUEZ2 HOODS

2. Remove wiring box cover. Remove EZ1 brackets and parts bag from
behind wiring box.
3. Remove top or rear electrical knockout. Install an appropriate strain relief.
4. BUEZ0 hood only: Remove rear or top duct knockout. Install damper/
duct connecter over opening made. Use 2 no. 8B sheet metal screws
provided.
PLANNING DUCTWORK INSTALLATION
This section is for BUEZ0 and BUEZ2 hoods only. For BUEZ1hoods,
skip this section and go to "Preparing the Installation Location".
Begin planning ductwork by deciding where duct will run between hood
and outside. For best performance, use shortest possible duct run and a
minimum number of elbows. There are several choices.

Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted on an exterior
wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an outside wall. If a wall cap
is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to
make sure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood
and damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the
hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or
back drafts. If this condition does exist, remove the hood damper flap.
Sometimes when using a wall cap, it is easier to duct vertically and then
use an elbow.
Start at the exterior and run ductwork back to the range hood. For best
performance, use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number
of elbow. Tape all duct connections using metal foil duct tape.
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
LOCATION
NOTE: MOUNT HOOD SO THAT BOTTOM OF HOOD IS 18" TO 24" ABOVE
COOKING SURFACE. TOP FRONT OF HOOD SHOULD BE FLUSH WITH
FRONT OF CABINET FRAME.
IF DISTANCE BETWEEN WALL AND FRONT OF CABINET FRAME IS
MORE THAN 12", THERE WILL BE A SPACE BETWEEN BACK OF HOOD
AND WALL. THIS IS NORMAL.
OMIT STEP 1 IF HOOD WILL BE INSTALLED UNDER CABINETS WITH
FLUSH BOTTOM OR INSTALLED USING THE EZ1 BRACKETS.
FILLER STRIP
1. For cabinets with recessed bottoms only, if not using EZ1 brackets: Install
wood filler strips on each side of recessed area under cabinet. Use two
1" x 2" strips cut to length (use thicker strips if necessary). Fasten strips
with wood screws about 3" in from each end.
2. Measure and mark the following:
a.) Electrical wiring opening in wall or cabinet.
b.) Duct opening in wall or cabinet (BUEZ0 and BUEZ2 hoods only).
