GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A: GENERAL
Carefully unpack the hood but do not remove any
protective film until after installation to avoid
accidental damage or scratching. Place filters
somewhere safe for the same reason.
Check for damage, and lay out the hood pieces and
parts.
Range hoods do not come with wall or ceiling screws,
as the type of structure determines the type of screws.
Check that you have the right tools. In addition to
marking and measuring tools, a hammer, screwdrivers,
pliers and scissors, you may need sheet metal sheers,
and wire strippers. Safety glasses are recommended.
B: ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This range hood must be grounded. If the dwelling
wiring is not 2-wire with a ground wire, a ground must
be provided by the installer.
Install a 5.08 X 10.16 cm (2” X 4”) wall outlet box and
3-blade 125 Volts, 15 amp grounded receptacle.
Use wire nuts to connect incoming ground, neutral and
hot.
Push wires into the junction box and replace cover. B
e
sure wires are not pinched.
C- INSTALLATION DISTANCE
Hood should be placed at a minimum distance from
the range top of:
– 61 cm (24”) for electric cooking surface
– 76 cm (30”) for Gas Cooking Surface
UNDERCABINET RANGE HOOD INSTALLATION
This range hood model is designed to be installed under kitchen cabinets.
If replacing a different model, check the location of the air exhaust in case it does not line up with the new mod
el;
T
he ducting location may have to be adjusted to the existing wall opening;
If the ventilation system is equipped with an external air duct with a different diameter, apply a reduction fitting.
A 6” Ø or rectangular 3” X 10” ducting is recommended for maximum performance and safety.
Section A: Select venting option
T
his unit offers 2 venting options:
A- Top venting (vertical) using 6” round or rectangular 3” X 10” damper

Step 3: Relocate motor exhaust at the rear of unit
- Position the unit on its back on a flat non abrasive surface – perpendicular to your working surface (See Pic
6)
- Place hand to hold motor in position and ensure weight of motor is well supported (See Pic 6)
o This will ensure screws don’t get bent or broken
- Remove 4 screws that hold motor in place on the top side of the hood
o Ensure the motor weight is well supported by your hand as the last screw in place may break under
the weight of the motor
- Once
the motor is set free from the hood, rotate motor clock wise to position venting outlet with rear
rectangular hole, ensuring that:
o Electric wire is located under the motor as you relocate the motor outlet (See Pic 7)
o Electric wire is not caught under the motor outlet (See Pic 8)
o 4 holes are aligned with screw holes at the rear
- Put unit upside down so the screw holes securing the motor are in a position facing you
- Install 4 screws to hold motor – Use a s
crew driver to perform operation – NOT
A DRILL as it may strip the
motor housing thread (See Pic 9)
