• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
• Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum
before you select your hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or

IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wood. If there is
no wood to screw into, additional wall framing supports may be
required.
5. Remove the template.
6. Drill
3

Complete Preparation
1. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the
vent system. Install the vent system before installing the
hood. See “Venting Requirements” section.
2. Determine the required height for the home power supply
cable and drill a 1¼” (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
3. Run the home power supply cable according to the National
Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and
ordinances. There must be enough ½” conduit and wires from
the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the
connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
4. Use caulk to seal all openings.
Installing the range hood
1. Using 2 or more people, hang range hood on 2 mounting
screws through the mounting slots on back of hood.
