■

It is recommended that the vent system be installed before 
range hood is installed.

■

If you are installing the optional backsplash, follow the 
instructions included with that product. 

■

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance 
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

■

Check that all installation parts have been removed from the 
shipping carton.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall exhaust.

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. 

The range hood is attached to the wall with the wood support 
that is attached to the back of the range hood.

1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the 

canopy range hood will be installed.

2. Select a mounting height “X” between a minimum of 

24" (61 cm) from electric cooking surfaces or 30" (76.2 cm) 
from gas cooking surfaces, and a suggested maximum of 
36" (91.4 cm), above the cooking surface and the bottom of 
the range hood and mark a horizontal reference line on the 
wall.

3. Remove the wood support from the back of the range hood 

by loosening the 2 screws from the inside. Locate and level 
the top of the wood support 15

³⁄₈" (39.1 cm) above the 

marked horizontal line and centered on the vertical centerline. 

Using 2 - 4 of the 6 x 80 mm screws, install wood support so 
that it is screwed into at least 2 vertical studs. 

NOTE: The screws provided for mounting this range hood 
must be fastened into solid wood; do not fasten into sheet 
rock only.

1. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall or roof for 

the vent system. Install the vent system before installing the 
range hood. See the “Venting Requirements” section.

2. Determine the location where the power supply cable will be 

run through the wall.

3. Drill a 1

¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.

4. Pull enough power supply cable through the wall to allow for 

easy connection to the terminal box.

5. Install the 10" (25.4 cm) square x 10" (25.4 cm) round vent 

transition with damper to top or rear of the range hood 
(depending on your installation), using 4 - 3.5 x 9.5 mm 
screws. Remove the damper from the vent transition when 
mounting to the rear of the range hood.

NOTE: There is a 8¾" (22.2 cm) flat cover plate mounted on 
the rear panel of the range hood. It must cover the exhaust 
opening in the rear panel of the range hood for top venting or 
be removed and reinstalled to cover the exhaust opening in 
the top panel for rear venting.
