Installation
steps
1.
If possible, disconnect and
carefully move freestanding
range from cabinet opening to
provide easier access to upper
cabinet and rear wall. Put a thick,
protective covering over cooktop,
set-in range or countertop to
protect from damage or dirt.
2.
Determine which venting
method [roof, wall, or non-vented
(recirculating)] you wish to use.
3.
Determine and clearly mark
a centerline on the underside of
the cabinet.
4.
Measure and mark lines as
shown for your size of vent hood.
Use a saber saw or keyhole saw
to cut opening through underside
of cabinet.
5.
If cabinet bottom is
recessed above a support frame,
wood filler strips need to be
installed on the right and left
sides of cutout to provide
clearance for sliding glass screen.
Wood filler strips should be flush
with or recessed 1/16" – 1/8"
(1.6 mm – 3.2 mm) from the
bottom of the support frame.
Transfer measurement “A” and
”B” to the cabinet backwall.
Measure from the underside of
cabinet or wood filler strips if
used. Mark the cutout as shown.
Use a saber saw or keyhole saw
to cut a rectangular opening for
vent.
6A.
To vent outside through
the roof with 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x
25 cm) rectangular vent, measure
and mark lines as shown. Use a
saber saw or keyhole saw to cut a
rectangular opening for the vent.
6C.
To vent inside through
the soffit with 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm
x 25 cm) rectangular vent, measure
and mark a rectangular vent
opening in the soffit using the
method shown in step 6B. Measure
and mark the same centerline on
the soffit above the vent hood area.
Use the grille from the Non-vented
(recirculating) Kit or other grille as
a template to outline opening for
vent. Use a saber saw or keyhole
saw to cut a rectangular opening
for the vent system.
The hood can be vented inside
through the top of the cabinet. Do
not terminate vent into a dead air
space.
The Non-vented (recirculating) Kit,
Part No. 883140 must be used.
6B.
To vent outside through
the wall with 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x
25 cm) rectangular vent, assemble
vent you will use over vent
opening. Do Not attach vent at this
time. Measure from the top of the
glass screen housing to top of vent
opening (dim. “A”) and back to
bottom of vent opening (dim “B”).
Remove vent.
7.
Install vent system according
to method needed. Use caulking to
seal exterior wall or roof opening.
