PRE INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Due to the weight and size of these vent hoods and to reduce the
risk of personal injury or damage to the product, TWO, TO THREE
PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.
Please read the instructions carefully. Unpack the range hood
and check that all functions are working before installing.
Ensure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on
the sticker match the voltage and frequency at the installation site.
Check that the area behind the installation surface to be drilled is
clear of any electrical cables or pipes, etc.
The surfaces of the range hood are very easily damaged during
installation if scratched or bumped by tools. Please take care to
protect the surfaces during installation.
Protect the cooktop surface below with cardboard, or the like, to
prevent damage.
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for consumers failure
to observe and follow all pre-installation procedures and safety
regulations.
The vertical distance from the cooking surface to the bottom of
the range hood should be at least 24” to 36” for best performance.
Determine if your installation will be top venting or back venting,
and ensure that the openings in the cabinet or wall are in the
appropriate locations and appropriate size.
If this is a new installation, choose the venting method that suits
your needs. Cut out openings for the damper and for power
access in the cabinet bottom or exterior wall, depending on the
installation method chosen.
