PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Caution: Remove the house fuse or open the
circuit breaker before beginning the installation.
Your new hood will fit a standard 30
″ wide flush bottom
or recessed bottom, framed or frameless kitchen cabinet
which has a minimum depth of 11
″ from the face to
the inside of the back wall.
The unit is ducted vertically. To change to horizontal
ducting see the instructions.
For safe operation, the mounted hood must be a
minimum of 18 ″ above the cooking surface.
For easiest installation, the range hood should be
installed in the cabinet before mounting the cabinet to
the wall.
NOTE: Remove the glass visor from the unit before
installing the hood in the cabinet to protect the visor
from damage.
INSTALL THE HOOD
1. Mark and cut out the cabinet bottom.
Prepare the cabinet bottom as shown above. Be sure
to locate the cut-out and four holes from the front of
the cabinet to assure a flush mount.
