Preparation before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,
PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING
THE VENT OPENING.
• Decide the location of the venting pipe
from the hood to the outside. (Figure 1)
• A straight, short venting run will allow
the hood to perform more efficiently.
• Try to avoid as many transitions,
elbows, and long run as possible. This
may reduce the performance of the
hood.
• Temporarily wire the hood to test for
proper operation before installing. Refer
to step 8 & 9 and figure 8 on page 6.
• Important: Peel any protective film
off the hood.
• Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
• If necessary, prepare back wall frame
with cross framing lumber for secure
installation. Refer to Table 1 and
measurements on Page 11 to decide
the level of the lumber. (Figure 2)
• Loosen hood-mounting brackets at the
back of the hood, adjust brackets and
tighten screws as shown in Figure 3.
• If necessary, remove the rubber stand
on the back of the hood and discard.
