INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
the range hood is installed.
■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling for exhaust vent.
■ Range hood is to be installed 24" (61.0 cm) min. for electric
cooking surfaces, or 27" (68.6 cm) min. for gas cooking
surfaces, to suggested maximum of 36" (91.2 cm) above the
cooking surface.
■ Check your ceiling height and the range hood height
maximum before you select your hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, or non-vented.
3. Select a at surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where
the range hood will be installed, after considering the
requirements for ceiling support structures. See the
“Location Requirements” section. Make sure the range hood
is centered over the cooking surface.
2. Tape template in place on the ceiling at the marked
centerline. The line for the front of the range hood should be
parallel to the front of the cooktop.
3. Use a pencil to mark the mounting screws, wire access and
duct hole locations on the ceiling.
NOTE: Mounting hole locations should be into a ceiling
support structure capable of holding 100 lbs (45.4 kg).
Remove the template.
4. Drill 4 - 3/16" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper
horizontal support.
Install In-Line Smart Kit (Optional)
NOTE: Your range hood can work with either an internal or an
in-line (external) blower motor system. An optional In-Line Smart
Kit (purchased separately) allows the blower motor that comes
with this range hood to be installed in a location other than
inside the range hood cavity.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of re and electric shock, install
this range hood only with the In-Line Smart Kit manufactured by
