available from your dealer. The kit fits
all models.
The model/serial rating plate is located
inside the range hood. To access,
remove the grease filters.
Range hood location should be away
from strong draft areas, such as windows,
doors and strong heating vents.
Grounded electrical connection is
required. See “Electrical requirements.”

minimum of 24" (61 cm) above cooking
surface.
All openings in ceiling and wall where
range hood will be installed must be
sealed.
Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
