PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

• Please read the instructions carefully. Unpack the Range Hood and check that all functions are working

before installing.

• Ensure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the sticker match the voltage and frequency at

the installation site.

• Check that the area behind the installation surface to be drilled is clear of any electrical cables or pipes, etc.

• The stainless steel surfaces of the Range Hood are very easily damaged during

installation if scratched or bumped by tools. Please take care to protect the surfaces during installation.

• Protect the cooktop surface below with cardboard, or the like, to prevent damage

occurring during installation.

• The manufacturer shall not be held liable for consumer’s failure to observe and follow

all pre-installation procedures and safety regulations.

• The vertical distance from the cooking surface to the bottom of the range hood should

be at least 24 in. to 36 in. for best performance.

• Determine if your installation will be top venting or back venting, and ensure that the openings in the cabinet or

wall are in the appropriate locations and appropriate size.

• If this is a new installation, choose the venting method that suits your needs. Cut out openings for the damper

and for power access in the cabinet bottom or exterior wall, depending on the installation method chosen.

DUCTWORK PLANNING

•These vent hoods are equipped for 8" round ductwork. This hood may be vented vertically through up-

per cabinet or ceiling. A duct transition piece is supplied for vertical exhaust. You may use elbows (sold

separately) to vent horizontally through the rear wall.

•Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

•Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.

•Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory performance,

duct run should not exceed 12.5 feet. equivalent length for any duct configurations.

•Use metal ductwork only.

WALL FRAMING FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORT

These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided.

*Actual length of straight duct plus duct fitting must equivalent. Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are

based on actual tests conducted by Evaluation Engineering and reflect requirements for good venting

performance with any ventilation hood.

IMPORTANT:

Plug the Unit in and Test all Functions Before Installing.
