READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:

The high degree of craftsmanship in the construction and finish of your hood requires

careful handling to ensure proper installation.

• Do not remove your hood from its carton until you are ready to hang it.

• If the hood needs to be lifted, place your fingers under the lower reveal of the hood: Grasp

firmly, and lift. Additionally, arrange it on a blanket or padded area that will protect your
hood from scratches or indentations.

• Do not store your hood anywhere other than within the carton.

• Do not lift the hood by its utensil rail. Place your fingers under the lower reveal of the hood.

Grasp firmly and lift.

• Cotton gloves are preferable. They will protect the surface from fine scratches and eliminate

fingerprints.

• Remove all rings, watches, belt buckles, and jackets (with the snaps and zippers) to prevent

scratch marks.

• Do not remove the cotton flannel from your hood until the installation process is complete. It

will be necessary to remove only a small portion on the back-side of a wall mounted hood in
order to position in place.

• Located within the hood cavity (behind the baffle filter) are component parts and halogen

bulbs.
