Number of people required: 2 or more
Carefully check the range hood for damage and for missing parts
prior to installation . If there is any damage or if you are missing
parts, do not proceed with the installation . Report damage and
missing parts immediately . Do not dispose of packaging before you
are satisfied with your new range hood.
1 . Before installation, measure all distances to ensure the proper
position of the range hood (A) .
- The distance (1) from the cooking surface to the range hood
must be at least 18 in. (458 mm). For the best performance,
do not install the range hood more than 28 in. (710 mm)
above the cooking surface .
- Dimension (3) should be at least 30" (762 mm) . The range
hood should be approximately the same size as the cook
top .
2 . If the bottom of the cabinet (6) above the location where the range
hood is to be installed is recessed, attach appropriately sized wood
filler strips (7) on each side using wood screws.
3 . Screws are provided to secure the range hood to most types of
cabinets, but consult a qualified installer to verify that the supplied
screws are suitable for your cabinets .
4 . Put a thick, protective covering over your counter, cooktop, or
range to protect it from damage and dirt during installation .
Remove any hazardous objects around the area .
