Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist
or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types
of walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the
materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Installation- Ducting Version
After having chosen the vent option, proceed as follows:
•
Prepare duct and conduit cut outs as needed.
•
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to
rear wall.

canopy hood will be installed. Select a mounting height
comfortable for the user and mark on wall.
