INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
1. If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to upper
cabinet or rear wall. Slide cardboard or hardboard under
range before moving range across floor to prevent damaging
floor covering. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over
countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage
or dirt.
2. Determine which venting method (roof or wall venting or
non-venting) you need to use. This range hood is shipped for
non-vented installation.
3. Drill four
¹⁄₈" (3.0 mm) pilot holes for hood mounting screws. If
cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood shim strips on each
side.
4. From the following diagrams, select the diagram for your
installation.
Vented installations: Cut the vent system and electrical wiring
access holes as required.
Non-vented installations: Drill only the 1 ¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) dia. wiring
access hole required.
■ If wiring through the top, use location shown in vertical
vent systems.
■ If wiring through the back, use location shown in
horizontal vent system.
