1. Install mounting brackets.

Slide the adjustable mounting brackets into the bracket channels
on the housing.
Bend the tabs on the cardboard protector and insert protector

from drywall spray and construction dust. Do not remove it until
after construction is completed.

A COOKING AREA.

The unit will operate most quietly and efficiently when located where

the shortest possible duct run and minimum number of elbows will be

needed.
Use a roof cap or wall cap that has a built-in damper to reduce backdrafts.
Plan to supply the unit with proper line voltage and appropriate

power cable.
