Preparation before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,
PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING
THE VENT OPENING.
•
Decide the location of the venting pipe
from the hood to the outside. (Figure 1)
•
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood
to perform more efficiently.
•
Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows,
and long run as possible. This may reduce
the performance of the hood.
•
Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper
operation before installing. Refer to figure 5
on page 6.
•
Important: Peel protective film off the
hood and duct covers, if any.
•
Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
Advance Planning
1. Mark centerlines of cook top or range on
ceiling. Use centerlines marked on ceiling
to position the mounting template as shown
in Figure 2.
2. Remove and save template. Cut and
remove ceiling drywall. Install 2” x 4” cross
framing lumber (not provided) between
ceiling joists.
3. The framing should be spaced 12-1/8” at
the front centerline and 14-1/4” on the sides
to accept the mounting screw in the
telescopic stack. Refer to
MEASUREMENTS & DIAGRAMS on pages
14. Shown in Figure 3.
4. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross
framing lumber.
5. Align the mounting template to the ceiling
marks and tape in place. Cut the 7-1/4”
duct open and approximately 1” wire access
hole. Drill holes for the 8 mounting screws
as indicated on the template.
