TOOLS NEEDED TO INSTALL THE RANGE HOOD

- Philips screwdriver #2 or square #1.

- Hammer (To open the knockout hole and the exhaust port).

- Sheet metal shears (to make duct adjustments).

- Pair of pliers (to make duct adjustments).

Caution:

To reduce fire hazard and to properly exhaust stale air, be sure to duct air out­side or recirculate the air with the HO 50950 charcoal unit. The exhaust port
must never lead into a chimney used to exhaust gases or smoke. Do not
exhaust stale air into spaces in walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

Warning: The heating element of the range and the underside of the
hood must be, at least 20" (50cm) apart. Over a gas range, the dis­tance must be increased to, at least, 24” (60 cm).

If the bottom of the cupboard is recessed, attach three wood
strips as shown to be able to screw the range hood under the
cabinet.

Remove the screw on the bottom of the hood and remove the cover.
* Be careful not to touch the electronic board.

Determine if the exhaust hole is on the top (3a) or rear (3b) of
the range hood. Disconnect the appropriate stale air outlet
using a hammer and screwdriver.
The best circular transition to a 3-1/4” x 10” (8.25 cm x 25.4 cm)
rectangular tubing measures 6” (15.24 cm) diameter. For better
Venmar Ventilation performance, it is recommended to follow
this instruction.

NOTE We recommend that the wall duct be well prepared to receive
the adaptor. Make sure that the adaptor fits easily in the duct before
doing the installation. The use of the adaptor is strongly recommend­ed for better performance of your unit. If you purchase the Venmar
hood to replace another hood and you use the top outlet, please
note that location of the exhaust duct can vary from one manufac­turer to another.
