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 or wall for vent ttings.
■ Making the cutout to the bottom of the cabinet may be
easier to do prior to mounting the cabinet to the wall.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or
non-vented.
3. Select a at surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Using two or more people, lift range hood onto covered
surface.
Range Hood Cabinet Cutout
1. Use a saber saw or keyhole saw to cut out the cabinet
bottom inside the cabinet frame.
NOTE: Frameless type cabinets require 3/4" (19 mm) front lip
in the cabinet bottom. A 3/4" (19 mm) thick ller strip (not
supplied) may be required for some types of cabinets. (See
Step 3 in the “Install Range Hood” section.)
2. Complete cabinet preparation following the instructions for
your type of venting. Determine venting cutout locations and
cut out vent openings in the cabinets, walls, and/or soft.
Venting Outside Through the Roof
Measure and mark the lines as shown. Use a saber saw
or keyhole saw to cut an opening through the top of the
cabinetand the roof for the vent.
Go to Step 3.

required for damper transition clearance.
Venting Outside Through the Wall
Install the 6" (15.2 cm) vent transition to the top of the range
hood liner using two 3.5 x 9.5 mm screws. Assemble the
vent duct that you will use over the 6" (15.2 cm) vent
transition. Measure from the bottom of the range hood liner
to the horizontal centerline of the vent opening (A).
Remove the vent duct from the range hood liner.
