Instructions / Assembly

ATTENTION HOMEOWNER: These installation steps are meant to be a general guideline for mounting and installing your under cabinet range hood. If
you require assistance, please contact your local contractor. Please exercise extreme caution when handling a range hood to prevent risk of injury and electric
shock. Building codes will vary. It is the buyer or contractor’s responsibility to know local county or state regulations before installation of this range hood.
Preparations:
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. Please see “Venting Method” section.
 A straight, short vent will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.
 Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.
IMPORTANT: Peel white or blue plastic protective film off the hood.
 Use HVAC foil tape / duct tape to seal joints between the pipe sections.
 For installing under cabinets with a recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not provided) on each side. Refer to Figure 1.
 Using references in measurements and diagrams provided, create an opening for electrical wires and hood exhaust under the cabinet.
CAUTION: If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, first turn off the power. Always turn off the gas before moving a gas range.
 Puncture the knockout holes (for mounting under the cabinet) on the hood as shown in Figure 2.
 If necessary, attach two rubber panels with adhesive tape to the rear corners of the range hood. This will; help reduce vibrations and shaking when in opera-
tion.
