• This range hood must be installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to these installation instruc-
tions.

Planning the Location
• Carefully check the location where the hood is to be
installed. The hood should be placed for convenient
access. Make certain that electrical power can be
provided in the selected location.
• Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions
shown are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted.
• All contact surfaces between the hood and any cabinets or walls must be solid and at right angles.
• Install the range hood and cooking appliance(s) so
that they can be removed if service is required.
NOTE: The mounting hardware included with the hardware packet is suitable
for mounting to brick and masonry
only. If mounting the range hood to drywall, Dacor strongly recommends the
using an anchoring system designed
for use with drywall. In addition, Dacor
strongly recommends that you install a
reinforced mounting block between the
studs behind all hood mounting locations.

planning and installation. Contact your local building
department for further information.
