- PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION -

----SAFETY WARNING----

INTERIOR OF HOOD MAY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES, PLEASE
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE
HOOD FOR CLEANING OR SERVICING.

NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,

PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE
VENT OPENING.

Make sure the surface of the wall is clean and free of debris.

Providing Electrical Power Line Access (SHOULD BE DONE BY A LICENSED
PROFESSIONAL)

1. If there is no electrical power line access opening, you will need to make an opening first
before you can proceed further. To make an electrical power access opening, mark an outline
for the opening on the cabinet bottom. Use a 1¼” wood bit to form the access opening.
{Fig. 1} CAUTION: Be careful when operating the electric drill.

- INSTALLING THE RANGE HOOD -

(Keep all packing materials for return or exchange)

Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation before installing.

Before installing, please peel protective film off the hood first, if any.

NOTE:

The recommended distance from range hood bottom to top of the cooking surface is
between 28” ~ 30”.

{Fig. 1a} {Fig. 1b} {Fig. 1c}

WARNING: As the hood is heavy, we strongly recommend using all 8 mounting
holes to install the hood. Installation may require more than 1 person.

For Mounting on a Cabinet with a Flush Bottom

1) If you need to move the cooking range to work on the cabinet, turn off the power for an
electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS
RANGE.

2) To make an electrical line access opening, please refer to section Electrical Power Line
Access.

3) Use 1” wood screws for mounting the hood. Puncture the eight indented mounting holes.
Measure & create access opening for electrical wires under the cabinet.

4)
a) For top venting: Cut rectangle opening required for 6”, 7” or 3¼” X 10” duct. Remove

temporary plastic vent cover on the top of the hood. Replace with the plastic multi duct
exhaust vent piece that came with the hood. Cut along the indented outline for the size of
the duct opening that you need. {Fig. 2} Fasten plastic multi duct exhaust vent piece
with the raised surface facing outward back onto the top of the hood. (See Fig 2)
