INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Unpack hood from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present.
In addition to the range hood you should have:
1 - Aluminum Grease/Charcoal Filter
4 - #8 Mounting Screws
1 - Wire Compartment Cover and Screw
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 lamp cover by squeezing the two tabs together (Figure 1).
4. Install a 60 watt maximum type A19 bulb and reinstall the lamp cover.
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 2).
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. 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 back and forth until the knockout
comes loose (Figure 3).
CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE
PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
Installing the Range Hood
1. Once the proper knockout(s) have been removed, either hold the
hood up to the installation location and mark the locations of the
ducting (if applicable), electrical, and mounting holes or mark the
locations by measurement.
2. Cut appropriate holes for ducting connection (if applicable) and
electrical connection in the wall/cabinet.
3. Install an approved wire connector to the electrical knockout of
the hood and guide the electrical cable through the hood, allowing
at least 6" of wire for connections and tighten.
4. Install the 4 mounting screw at the previously marked locations.
Leave approximately 1/8" clearance. Slide the hood in place through
the keyhole slots and align the front of the hood so that it is flush with
the front of the cabinets. Tighten all screws securely (Figure 4).
