UNDER THE CABINET INSTALLATION
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 runs
as possible. This may reduce the performance of the
hood.
• Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper
operation before installing.
• NOTE: Peel protective film off the hood and parts (if
any).
• To install hood under a cabinet with recessed
bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not
included) on each side. Refer to Figure 2.
• Using references in Table 1 and Measurements and
Diagrams on pages 17-18, create access opening for
electrical wires and ducting transition under the
cabinet.

Hood Installation
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.
1. Puncture the knockout holes (for mounting under the
cabinet) on the hood as shown in Figure 3.
2. Attach ducting transition to hood exhaust with ten
(3/16” x 3/8”) screws (provided). Shown in Figure 4.
3. Draw electrical wires through cabinet access opening.
4. Center the hood beneath the cabinet and flush with the
front of the cabinet.
5. From the bottom of the hood, place mounting screw
(not provided) through each knockout hole and secure
to cabinet bottom. Once all mounting screws are in
place, finish tightening screws until secure. CAUTION:
MAKE SURE HOOD IS SECURE BEFORE
RELEASING.
6. For safety purpose, extra knockout holes on the back of
the hood are provided for a more secure installation.
Knock out as many holes as needed and secure with
screws (not provided) from the inside of hood.

Ductwork Installation
7. Use 8” aluminum or steel pipe (follow building codes in
your area) to connect the ducting transition on the hood
to the ductwork above. Use duct tape to seal and
secure joints as shown in Figure 5.
Wiring to Power Supply
SAFETY WARNING
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
INJURY, ALL RANGE HOODS SHOULD BE PROPERLY
