Preparation Before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT
DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.
•
Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to
the outside. Refer to Figure 1.
•
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform
more efficiently.
•
Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as
possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.
•
Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation
before installing.
•
Important: Peel protective film off the hood, if any.
•
Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
CAUTION
: If moving the cooking range is
necessary to install the hood, turn off the power in an
electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE
GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE. And use a
protective covering to protect cook top and/or
countertop from damage.
Custom Hood Preparation
1. The custom hood frame must be sized to shape and the
weight of the insert. Refer to Measurements and
Diagrams on Page 11.
2.
Install 6” Round Plastic Collar
using 2 attached
screws.
Refer to Figure 2.
3. It must have a sturdy base (1/2 inch thick plywood
recommended) to sustain the weight of insert.
4. If an optional liner will be installed, the side of the wood
cabinet must be sturdy (1/2 inch thick plywood
recommended).
5.
It is recommended to install a rear and front stud support.
Refer to Figure 3. The stud supports are located 1-1/2”
up from the base of the wood frame.
Liner Installation
6. The custom/wood hood must have a sturdy base to
accommodate the cut-out for the inset. The base must be
recessed to accommodate the height of the liner (See liner
dimension on Page 12)
7. Secure the liner to the bottom of the base using screws
(not included) appropriate for the size and material of your
wood frame.
8. Position the liner so that it aligns with the back edge of the
custom wood frame. Use a pen to trace the outline of the
pre-cut area. Remove the liner and proceed to Hood
Preparation before Installation on Page 6.
9. Install the liner with 5 screws (not provided).
