6. It is recommended to use metal/aluminum duct/pipe with a uniform size (ex. 6” round pipe from
range hood to the outside.)
7. If an elbow is necessary, a minimum of 12” straight run is necessary before the elbow.
Clearance
8. Clearance is the distance between the cooktop and the bottom of the range hood. The
recommended minimum clearance for this model is 26” and the maximum clearance is 30”.
9. It is important to install the hood at the recommended clearance. Installing too low could result in
damage and/or fire hazard while installing too high may result in reduced performance and
efficiency.
Hood Installation
10. The hood has to be installed inside the cabinet. It is
recommended to install a front and rear stud support.
Refer to Figure 1. The stud supports are located 1-1/2”
from the rear and 2” from the front.
11. Determine and mark the centerlines on the base of the
wood frame where the insert will be installed.
12. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall or
ceiling for the ductwork. Note: Install the duct work before
installing the insert.
13. Cut out the opening where the insert will be installed.
Refer to Figure 2. Refer to page 10.
14. Slide the hood to the opening.
15. Locate the screw holes (4) on each side of the insert.
Adjust the level of the hood casing support according to
the thickness of the base.
16. Secure the hood using the screw holes that are located at
the front and back of the unit (screws provided). Refer to
Figure 3.
17. Make sure the hood casing support is secure before
releasing.
Ductwork
18. Attach the vent adapter to the exhaust opening using the
4 x 8 mm screws.
19. Connect the pipe to the vent adapter and seal the joint with
duct tape. Make sure it is completely air tight.
Electrical Wire
20. Connect the range hood to an outlet.
21. If hardwired is desired, cut off the plug and connect three
wires (black, white, green) to the outlet wires and cap with
wire connectors. Connect the wires according to color (ex:
