INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
It is recommended that the vent system be installed before 
hood is installed.
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a 
joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be 
constructed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance 
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum 
before you select your hood.
1. If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in 
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear 
wall. Otherwise, put a thick, protective covering over 
countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt. 
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non-
vented.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Cover 
that surface with a protective covering.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto protective 
covering.
5. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the 
canopy hood will be installed.
6. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 
30" (76.2 cm) and a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm), 
above the range to the bottom of the hood and mark 
reference line on the wall.
NOTE: For installation locations with reduced ceilings 
heights, the vent hood may be installed using the upper vent 
cover for both vented and non-vented (recirculating) 
installations.
7. Tape template in place, aligning the template centerline and 
bottom of template with hood bottom line and with the 
centerline marked on the wall.
8. Mark centers of the 6 fastener locations through the template 
to the wall.
IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wood.
Remove the template.
9. Drill 
⁷⁄₆₄" (2.75 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws 
are being installed into wood.
10. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the vent 
system. Install the vent system before installing the hood. See 
“Venting Requirements” section.
11. Determine the required height for the ½" conduit and drill a 
1¼" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
12. Run wire through the ½" conduit according to the National 
Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and 
ordinances. There must be enough ½" conduit and wires from 
the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the 
connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.
13. Use caulk to seal all openings.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
14. Attach two mounting hooks to the wall at location marked on 
the template.
