height and personal preference,
determine the distance “X” needed
between the cooking surface and the
bottom of the hood. To this distance,
add 15-1/8" (34.8 cm) and draw a
horizontal line about 24" (61.0 cm)
centered on the vertical centerline at
this distance.
5.
Mark two points on each side of
the horizontal line 4-9/16" (11.6 cm)
from the vertical centerline.
• If installing into wood, drill two 1/8"
(3.2 mm) pilot holes.
• If installing into drywall, drill two
1/4" (6.4 mm) holes and insert wall
anchors flush with the wall.
6.
Install two No. 10 Phillips head
wood screws. Leave a 1/4” (6.4 mm)
gap between the wall and the back of
the screw head.
1.
If possible, disconnect and move
freestanding or slide-in range from
cabinet opening to provide easier
access to rear wall. Otherwise put a
thick, protective covering over
countertop, cooktop or range to
protect from damage or dirt. Select a
flat surface for assembling the hood.
Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all hood parts and
hardware on it.

If venting to the outside, vent system
must be installed before hood is installed.
Do not cut a joist or stud unless
absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud
must be cut, then a supporting frame
must be constructed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there
is proper clearance within the ceiling or
wall for exhaust vent.
Preparation
2.
Tip the hood on its back and
remove the filters and set aside. To
remove filters:
Note: Use two hands to remove
filters, one to pull and turn the knob,
the other to hold the filter so that it
doesn't fall.
• Pull knob forward (toward the front
of the hood) while turning the knob
to the left (counter-clockwise) to
release the locking lever.
• Slide filter down and away from
front retaining channel.
3.
Determine and mark a vertical
centerline on the wall where the
canopy hood will be installed.
If vent system is already installed, use
centerline of vent opening.
