PLANNING INSTALLATION

Number of people required: 2 or more

1 . Before installation, measure all distances to ensure the proper position of the range hood (A).

- The minimum distance (1) from the cooking surface to the range hood is 18 in. (458 mm). If your range specifies a different distance, use the greater distance of the two. For best performance, this distance (1) should not exceed 25 in. (635 mm).

- Dimension (2) should be at least 30 in (762 mm). The range hood should be approximately the same size as the cook top .

2. If the bottom of the cabinet (3) above the location where the range hood is to be installed is recessed, attach appropriately sized wood filler strips (4) on each side using wood screws.

3 . Screws are provided to secure the range hood to most types of cabinets, but consult a qualified installer to verify that the supplied screws are suitable for your cabinets .

4 . Put a thick, protective covering over your counter, cooktop, or range to protect it from damage and dirt during installation . Remove any hazardous objects around the area .

WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and gloves during installation .

VENTING OPTIONS:

a . Determine if your existing venting system is top venting or back venting, and ensure that the openings in the cabinet or wall for the damper and for power access are in appropriate locations and are of appropriate sizes, as per Fig . 3 if it is top venting or Fig. 4 if it is back venting. For top venting option (Fig. 3), if you are using the round adapter, the opening should be A and B only . If you are using the rectangular damper, opening should be B and C only .

b . If this is a new installation, choose the venting method that suits your needs . Cut out openings for the damper and for power access in the cabinet bottom or exterior wall, depending on the direction of venting chosen .

FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES WHEN INSTALLING DUCT WORK:

- Your venting system must vent to the outdoors either horizontally through the back wall (13) or vertically through the roof (14) (refer to Fig. 5/Fig. 6/Fig. 7).

- Use round metal duct work with a uniform diameter of 177 mm (7 in). The total duct run in the venting system should not be more than 10.7 m (35 ft).

- Calculate the total effective length of the duct work by adding the equivalent lengths in the table shown (Fig. 9). For each fitting used add the length of the equivalent straight duct used in the system.

- Fasten all connections between pieces of duct with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified duct tape.

- If you must turn the path of the duct work using elbows, keep the number of elbows to a minimum for effective performance and use no more than three 90° elbows. Ensure that there is a minimum of 458 mm (18 in) of straight vent between each elbow. Elbow as far away from the range hood’s exhaust opening as possible .

- Cap the exterior of the duct with a wall cap (15) or roof cap (16). Never use 102 mm (4 in) laundry-type wall caps. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap .

- The venting system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood

For inside venting system (air does not exhaust to outdoors) (Fig. 8):

Please refer to the Installation section .A vent cover plate will be removed and air will be exhausted through the charcoal filter and out from 17 .
