Attach damper/vent connector over knockout opening. Make

the rectangular ventwork be attached to the damper/vent
connector and sealed with duct tape before installing the
hood.

Hood” section.

of air flow (away from range hood).

NOTE: Damper/vent connector and round vent plate can be
installed up to 1" (2.5 cm) on either side of hood center if
ventwork is off-center. In extreme off-center installations, one
end of the vent connector may need to be trimmed to clear
the electrical strain relief.
