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 venting 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. - Peel protective film off the hood (if any).
- For installing under the cabinet with recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not included) on each side. Refer to Figure 2.
- Measure and create access opening for electrical wires under the cabinet.
- Cut the multi duct exhaust according to the size of the venting pipe. Refer to Figure 3.
