INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SER-

VICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

SECTION 1

Preparing the Range Hood

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

NOTE: Some hoods may be shipped with a protective plastic adhered to the range hood. It is

recommended to leave this in place during installation to protect the hood from scratching.

Remove when the installation is complete.

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.

SECTION 2

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.

SECTION 3

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).

SECTION 4

Installing the Range Hood

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SER-

VICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

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).

SECTION 5
