INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
the range hood is installed.
■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for vent ttings.
■ Making the cutout to the bottom of the cabinet may be
easier to do prior to mounting the cabinet to the wall.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or
non-vented.
3. Select a at surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Using two or more people, lift range hood onto covered
surface.
Range Hood Cabinet Cutout

supplied) may be required for some types of cabinets (see
Step 3 in the “Install Range Hood” section).
2. Complete cabinet preparation following the instructions for
your type of venting. Determine venting cutout locations and
cut out vent openings in the cabinets, walls, and/or soft.

a saber saw or keyhole saw to cut an opening through the
top of the cabinet and the roof for the vent.
