Preparation Before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT DEBRIS
FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.
• Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the
outside. Refer to Figure 1.
• A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more
efficiently.
• Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as
possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.
• Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation before
installing.
• Important: Peel protective film off the hood, if any.
• Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
CAUTION : If moving the cooking range is necessary to
install the hood, turn off the power in an electric range at
the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE
MOVING A GAS RANGE. And use a protective covering to
protect cooktop and/or countertop from damage.
Custom Hood Preparation
1. The custom hood frame must be designed according to the
shape and the weight of the insert. Refer to Measurements
and Diagrams on Page 12-13.
2. A sturdy base (3/4 inch thick plywood recommended) is needed
to sustain the weight of insert.
3. If an optional liner will be installed, the side of the wood frame
must be sturdy (3/4 inch thick plywood recommended).
4. It is recommended to install front & rear stud support (not
included). Refer to Figure 2. For safety purposes, extra
installati
on holes on the side of the insert are provided.
Prepare the side stud support if needed.
5. Determine and mark the centerlines on the base of the wood
frame where the insert will be installed.
6. Determine the proper lo
cation for the Power Supply Cable.
Make a wiring access hole using a drill bit. Install the wire
cable and seal the gap around hole.
7. Cut out the opening where the insert will be installed. (Figure
3)
Liner Installation (Additional Purchase required)
8. The custom wood frame must have a sturdy base to
accommodate the cut-out for the insert. The base must be
recessed to accommodate the height of the liner (See liner
dimension on Page 13)
9. Secure the liner to the bottom of the base using screws (not
included) appropriate for the size and material of your wood
frame.
10. Liner is made up of two sections: a large, rear section with pre-
cut for insert and a front section for a total adjustable depth
between 23” and 25-3/4”.
11. Position the rear section of the liner so that it aligns with the back
edge of the custom wood frame. Use a pen to trace the outline
of the pre-cut area.
12. Install the rear section of the liner with 6 screws (not included).
13. Install the front section of the liner with 3 screws (not included)
