Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to
minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent
system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems with greater than specified CFM
of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Venting Methods

This hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. A
6" (15.24 mm) round duct system is needed for installation (not
included).
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce perfor-
mance. Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating)
version, fitting a pair of charcoal filters to the blower. Fumes and
vapors are recycled through the round grid. See optional acceso-
ries section.
CAUTION: Mount this hood so that the bottom edge above the
cooking surface is at 27" (68.5 cm) minimum if a gas range is
used or from 24" (61 cm) to 30" (76.2 cm) if an electric range is
used. Household use, please, read installation manual for specific
application. Check your ceiling height and the hood height maxi-
mum before you select your hood.

Installation Instructions

Prepare Location

• It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
the range hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for vent fittings.
• Making the cutout to the bottom of the cabinet may be easier
to do prior to mounting the cabinet to the wall.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non
vented.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
WARNING: Excessive Weight Hazard.
Use two or more people to move and install range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface
Range Hood Cabinet Cutout
1. Use a saber saw or keyhole saw to cut out the cabinet
bottom inside the cabinet frame.
NOTE: Frameless type cabinets require ¾" (1.9 cm) front lip
in the cabinet bottom.
