recessed bottom, framed or frameless kitchen cabinet which
has a minimum depth of 11s 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
24s 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.
NOTE: Any home ventilation system, such as a ventilation
hood, may interrupt the proper flow of combustion air and
exhaust required by fireplaces, gas furnaces, gas water
heaters and other naturally vented systems. To minimize the
chance of interruption of such naturally vented systems, follow
the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety
standards such as those published by NFPA and ASHRAE
When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air
system in accordance with local building code requirements.
