Complete venting system according to the selected venting
method. See “Venting Requirements” section.
2. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
Install Range Hood
Complete Preparation
1. Remove the grease filters. See the “Range Hood Care”
section.
■ Depending on your installation, remove either top or rear
rectangular vent knockout. If using round vent, remove
top rectangular knockout.
■ Make sure damper pivot is nearest to top/back edge of
range hood.
■ Remove tape from damper flap.
NOTE: The exhaust adaptor/damper can be installed up
to 1" (2.5 cm) on either side of the hood center to
accommodate off-center ductwork.
■ If using rectangular vent, attach rectangular damper/vent
connectors to the range hood using sheet metal screws.
NOTE: If the wall cap is directly behind the vent
connector, the dampers in the connector and wall cap
must not interfere with each other. Remove the vent
connector damper if they interfere.
■ If using round vent, attach vent transition piece
(purchased separately) to range hood top using sheet
metal screws.
2. Lift the range hood up under cabinet and determine final
location by centering beneath cabinet. Mark on the underside
of cabinet the location of the 4 keyhole mounting slots on the
range hood. Set range hood aside on a covered surface.
3. Use ¹⁄₈" (3 mm) drill bit and drill 4 pilot holes as shown.
4. Install the 4 - 4.5 mm x 13 mm mounting screws in pilot
holes. Leave about ¹⁄₄" (6.4 cm) space between screw heads
and cabinet to slide range hood into place.
5. Run the home power supply cable according to the National
Electric Code or CSA standards and local codes and
ordinances. There must be enough wiring from the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the connection in
the hood electrical terminal box.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until the installation is
complete.
6. Remove the screws from the terminal box cover. Then slide
the cover toward the outside edge of range hood to position
the large end of the keyhole slots over the mounting tabs.
