PREPARING THE RANGE HOOD
DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY
NOTE
The grille cover must be installed as shown in FIG. 3
to function in ducted mode.
5. Remove appropriate duct knockout on hood by inserting screwdriver
into edge of knockout and breaking tabs holding knockout to hood.
You may have to tap screwdriver with hammer to break tabs. Peel
knockout back with pliers. (FIG. 5)
6. Fit damper/duct connector over opening and secure in place with
black sheet metal screws. (FIG. 6)
Hinge pins and damper/duct connector should be toward top of hood
for ducting through wall or toward back of hood for ducting through
cabinet above hood. Seal joint between damper/duct connector and
hood with duct tape.
7. 7” round ducted discharge only: Purchase separately the 7” round
duct plate (part no. SR680508). For best performance, line up the 7”
round duct plate with the 7” round opening on hood. Mount duct plate
to hood with 2 screws included with duct plate and 2 screws from
3¼” x 10” damper (1 screw per side). Install a 7” round damper
(purchase separately). Damper flap must open freely in direction of air
flow (away from range hood).
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
NOTE
MOUNT HOOD SO THAT BOTTOM OF HOOD IS 18”-24” ABOVE
COOKING SURFACE. TOP FRONT EDGE OF HOOD SHOULD BE
FLUSH WITH FRONT OF CABINET FRAME.
IF DISTANCE BETWEEN WALL AND FRONT OF CABINET FRAME
IS MORE THAN 12” THERE WILL BE A SPACE BETWEEN BACK OF
HOOD AND WALL. THIS IS NORMAL.
OMIT STEP 8 if range hood will be installed under cabinets with flush
bottom.
8. (For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only.) Attach a wood filler
strip at each side of recessed area under cabinet. (Use two 1” x 2” strips
cut to length.) If recess is more than 1” use thicker strips. Attach strips
with 1¼” screws about 3” from each end. See FIG. 7.
9. Measure and mark the following (FIGS. 7 & 8):
a) Electrical line opening
b) Duct opening
10. Drill four pilot holes in corners of marked duct opening as shown and cut
opening with saber saw or keyhole saw.
11. Use 1¼” drill bit to drill opening for electrical connection in wall or
cabinet.
12. Hold hood up against cabinet bottom and trace keyhole slots onto
cabinet bottom or filler strips.
13. Screw the four supplied 7/8” wood screws for mounting the hood into the
exact center of the narrow end of the keyhole slots marked underneath
the cabinet. Allow 3/8” of the screws to project, so the hood can be fitted
into place.
