INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE 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:
2 - Aluminum Grease Filters (36" models - 3)
2 - 18 Watt GU24 Lamps
1 - 3-1/4" x 10" Damper
1 - 7" Round Damper
10 - Damper Mounting Screws
4 - #8 Mounting Screws
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.
TIP: Use a hair dryer to warm the plastic coating. This will allow the coating to easily release
from the hood.
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 the following items from the hood and place in a safe place until needed (Figure 1):
Grease filters: Pull on tabs to remove.
Lamp cover: Press in the tabs on the lamp covers and remove. It might be helpful to
place the hood in an upright position to remove the covers so they will easily detach from
the hood once the tabs are depressed.
Damper and Lamp Box: Both the damper assemblies and lamps are contained with the
box located on the inside of the hood. Remove and place in a safe place until needed.
Wire compartment cover: Remove the screws holding it in place.
4. Install the included 18 watt GU24 fluorescent lamps into the lamp holder by lining up
the pins on the lamp base to the socket of the lamp holder and turning the lamp body
clockwise until the lamp snaps into place and is firmly seated in the lamp holder. Install
a 4 watt maximum type C7 (candelabra base) night light (not included) into the side lamp
holder 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. Choose the type of ducting you will require. This model is equipped to vent either
Vertically or Horizontally through a 3-1/4" x 10" duct or through a 7" round duct. It can
be modified to be ductless (re-circulates the air back into the kitchen) with the addition
of a model CF-09S Charcoal Filter (not included) (Figure 3).
2a. Horizontal or Vertical - Remove the rectangular knockout by inserting a screw driver under
the edge and break the tabs holding it in place. Peel back with pliers (Figure 4).
2b. Ductless - From inside the hood, depress the latches with your fingers before removing
the shutter. Pull down on the tab in front of the fan blade. Bend the shutter at the creased
area and break the top part of the shutter off and discard. Insert the remaining part of the
shutter back into the slot (Figure 4).
2c. 7" Round - Remove the round knockout located on the top of the hood by inserting a screw
driver under the edge and break the tabs holding it in place. Peel back with pliers (Figure 4).
