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 for exhaust vent.
Range hood is to be installed 24" (61.0 cm) min. for electric 
cooking surfaces, 27" (68.6 cm) min. for gas cooking 
surfaces, to a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above 
the cooking surface.
Check your ceiling height and the range hood height 
maximum before you select your hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall or non-
vented.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place 
covering over that surface.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
5. Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where the 
range hood will be installed, considering the requirements for 
ceiling support structures. See the “Location Requirements” 
section. Make sure the range hood is centered over the 
cooking surface.
6. Tape template in place on the ceiling at the marked 
centerline.
7. Use a pencil to mark the mounting screws, wire access and 
duct hole locations on the ceiling.
NOTE: Mounting hole locations should be into the ceiling 
support structure.
Remove the template.
8. Drill 4 - 
³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) pilot holes for mounting the upper 
horizontal support. 
Complete Preparation
1. Determine the required location for the home power supply 
cable and drill a ½" (1.3 cm) diameter hole for wire access.
2. Run wire through the home power supply cable 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.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
3. Use caulk to seal all openings.
4. For vented installations only: Using a jigsaw or keyhole 
saw, cut a 8½" (21.6 cm) diameter hole for the vent duct.
5. Attach the upper horizontal support bracket with 4 - 5 x 
45 mm wood screws.
Install Range Hood
1. Position the 4 vertical supports (A) with the notches at the 
bottom and attach to the range hood using 16 - 4 x 8 mm 
screws. 
2. Attach the horizontal support (B) using 8 - 4 x 8 mm screws.
