•  Flexible metal round ducts should only be used

when  no  other  duct  fitting  exists.  Limit  use  to
short  lengths  and  do  not  crush  when  making 
corners.

This range hood is very heavy. Adequate structure 
and  support  must  be  provided  in  all  types  of 
installations.

•  If  drywall  is  present,  mark  the  screw  hole

locations.

•  Cut  away  enough  drywall  to  expose  2  vertical

studs  at  the  holes  location  indicated  by  the 
template. Install two horizontal supports at least 
1” x 6” between two wall studs at the bottom and 
top mounting holes installation location (fig.  ).

•  The  horizontal  support  must  be  flush  with  the

room side of the studs. Use cleats behind both 
sides of the support to secure to wall studs.

•  Reinstall drywall and refinish.

•  If open fireplaces are operated in the same room,

ask your local chimney sweeper about the local 
regulations prior to installation.

•  If you are renting, then approval must be obtained

from the owner of the property.

•  Attention! In order for the range hood to reach 

optimal performance, install it over the middle of 
the cooking area.

•  The following accessories are required to mount

the range hood (not included):

 

  Exhaust duct

 

  Power drill with 3/16” and 1/8” bits

 

  Screwdriver

 

  Level

 

  Cable detector

 

  Measuring tape

 

  Duct tape

•  For safety reasons, ducting should vent directly

outdoors (not into an attic, underneath the house, 
into the garage or into any enclosed space).

•  Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.
•  Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air

flow efficiency.

•  Back to back elbow and “S” turns give very poor

delivery and are not recommended.

•  A short straight length of duct at the inlet of the

remote blower gives the best delivery.

•  Transition  to  duct  from  the  integral  blower  or

remote duct transition as close to the downdraft 
as is possible.

•  Use a suitable 6” round duct.

Step 1:
•  Make sure that no cables or pipes will become

damaged (e.g. electric, gas, water; test the areas 
in question with a cable detector).

•  Using  supplied  template  (17),  mark  and  drill  8

holes in the wall. Drill the holes according to the 
measured distances from the diagram (fig.  ).

•  Upper/Lower  bracket  (4,  5):  Insert  4  wall  plugs

(11) into the 4 drilled holes.

•  Range hood (1): Installation is depending on wall
