must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
oImproper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

instructions are not properly understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet
near the appliance

Selecting the Venting Direction
The range hood can be used for either vertical or ductless air
discharge. It is set up for vertical discharge.
Vertical Discharge - Vertical discharge is
the most common method of hood
installation. If your kitchen has an attic
space above, the ducting may be run
through the cupboard and the attic to a
roof cap. Use a 7” round duct (not included).
Another option, if your kitchen has a soffit above the
cabinet, is to run the duct up into the soffit and then
discharge the air horizontally through the outside wall to a
wall cap.
Ductless –In ductless installations, air is
vented back into the kitchen through
the opening in the range hood grille. If
you do not anticipate heavy cooking, this method is
preferable. Ductless installation requires the use of charcoal
filters* to remove odors, which should be replaced at regular
intervals depending on use. Check with your local retailer or
dealer for replacements. Note: This filter is not dishwasher
safe!
*If hood is to be installed non-ducted, install a charcoal filter, purchased separately.
When venting ductless, you must remove
the vent cover from the slots on the front
of the range hood. Save the vent cover for
possible future use. Use the 70mm rail
instead of 40mm rail.

Cabinet Preparation for Hood Support
The range hood should be mounted at a distance of 600mm
from an electric or induction cooktop, and 762mm above a
gas cooktop for safety and optimum performance.
If you install the hood with a duct,
you will need to provide a hole for
the duct. Please use the template
provided to locate the hole.
Use the diagram below for proper placement of ductwork
and electrical cutout in cabinet. For a non-ducted
installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.
Warning! When cutting or drilling into wall or cabinet, be
careful not to cut existing electrical wiring.
1. If the bottom of the cabinet is recessed above the
bottom of the cabinet door, then it is necessary to
install wood strips on each side of the recessed area
on the bottom of the cabinet where the range hood
will be mounted. The wood strips should line up with
the 4 keyhole slots on the top of the range hood.

9 | P a g e
Fasten the wood strips with wood screws about 3” in
from each end.
NOTE: the thickness of the wood strips should be
slightly more than the recessed dimension. The
length should be cut to size.
2. Measure and mark the electrical wiring opening in
the wall or the cabinet. If the hood is to be vented,
also mark and measure the duct opening in the wall
or cabinet.
Preparation for Duct Connection
Remove the appropriate ducting knockout by inserting a
screwdriver under one end and prying it up. Then snip or
break the attachment points.
Before installing the range hood, please first fix the outlet on
the air duct hole of the hood.
