Installation (continue)
SKIP THIS STEP IF USING WALL MOUNTING METHOD
When necessary, the hood may be installed so that it is supported by the soffit.
•
The soffit should be constructed with 2x4's
•
Determine the installation location on the wall.
•
Continue the centerline forward on the bottom of the cabinet or soffit
•
The opening above the hood should allow for the 6" x2 round duct and clearance
to slide the hood back against the wall.
•
The 2 x 4 studs must be located as shown in the chart, Dim. A. to accept
mounting screws.

•
Drill 1/8" pilot holes into the studs at the locations shown in the top view illustration.
IMPORTANT: Soffit framing must be capable of supporting up to 150lbs.
Install Outlet Adapter Onto Top of Hood
IMPORTANT: Check that damper moves freely
•
Place the outlet adapter (2x) over the hood exhaust and secure with 4x M4x12mm self tapping screws
•
Use duct tape to seal the connection. Check to be sure the damper moves freely.
MOUNT HOOD ONTO SOFFIT OR CABINET
Note: If mounting to the underside of a cabinet with a recessed bottom, install shims to fill the gap
•
Drive mounting screws into the studs until they protrude1/4". The 1/4" gap will provide clearance to engage the
keyhole slots in the top of the hood.
•
Lift hood to installation position.
•
Lift hood onto mounting screws. Slide back against the rear wall.
•
Tighten mounting screws.
IMPORTANT: For additional support and to minimize vibration
during operation, the hood must be secured to the back wall.
Use wall anchors to fasten bottom back of hood to the wall.
CONNECT DUCTWORK
•
Install ductwork, making connections in direction of airflow as illustrated.
•
Wrap all duct joints with duct tape for an airtight seal.
•
Use duct tape to seal the flange connection. Reach inside the hood and push the damper up to be sure it moves
freely.
