SECTION 4
Installing the Insert
NOTE: If you will not have access to the ducting or wiring once the hood is installed into
the cabinet or canopy, make the ducting and electrical connections at this point by
referring to the SECTION 5 and SECTION 6 of this instruction sheet.
NOTE:
If cabinet frame work does not exist, you will need to install framing to secure the
unit to (Figure 3).
1. Insert the power unit into the hole and secure in place using the six provided
mounting screws (Figure 4).
NOTE:
If an Air King hood liner is being utilized, use the screws provided with the hood
liner to attach the power unit to the liner.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE SURFACE YOU ARE MOUNTING THE POWER
UNIT TO IS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE WEIGHT OF THE UNIT. OTHERWISE YOU
WILL NEED TO REINFORCE THE AREA.

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING CODES.
