PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Caution: Remove the house fuse or open the
circuit breaker before beginning the installation.
Your new hood will fit a standard 36
″ 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 24
″ 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.
