3. 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 4).
SECTION 4
Installing the Range Hood
CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE 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. For vertical or horizontal ducting, install the appropriate damper assembly to the hood by
placing the assembly over the opening and securing in place with the provided screws
(Figure 5). If using the 3-1/4" x 10" damper, make sure the damper hinge is towards the
front or the top of the hood to ensure the best possible performance.
4. 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.
NOTE: If installing into existing construction and you will not have access to the ductwork
once the hood is in place, make ducting connections at this point. Refer to the Ducting Section
for instructions.
5. 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 6).
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL CLOSER THAN 22 INCHES ABOVE COOKING SURFACE.
SECTION 5
Wiring
CAUTION: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE
UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE
SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1/8"
Keyhole
1. Connect the 1 loose Black wire from the range hood to the Black wire from the supply,
and the 1 loose White wire from the range hood to the White wire of the supply. Connect
the ground wire (green or bare) from the supply to the green ground screw of the hood.
Use approved methods for all connections (Figure 7).
NOTE: DO NOT disconnect any wiring that has already been crimped with a wire connector
from the factory.
2. Install the wire compartment cover using the three screws removed earlier. Make sure
the the 2 screws with the pointed tips are installed through the wire cover and into the
polymetric undercarriage. The blunt tip screw is to be installed to the interior of the wire
compartment. Make sure all wiring is securely contained within the wire compartment
and tighten all screws.
SECTION 6
Ducting
CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING CODES.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
1. Connect the ducting to the hood’s duct collar and damper. Secure in place using tape to
seal all joints (Figure 8).
CAUTION: ALWAYS DUCT THE FAN TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH A WALL OR
ROOF CAP.
SECTION 7
Finishing the Installation
2. Reinstall the filters by fitting them into the channel on either side of the hood and
pushing upwards on them until they are secured in place (Figure 9).
