Considerations before installing Hood
1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as
possible.
CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2. If allowed in your area, use metallic flex ducting only to connect rigid duct directly
to transitions.
3. COLD WEATHER installations should ha e an additional backdraft damper
installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to
minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The
damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be
as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
4. Hood installation height abo e cooktop is the users preference. The lower the
hood abo e the cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of cooking odors, grease
and smoke. We recommend the hood be installed 30-36" abo e the countertop.
The lower height may be incon enient for tall people and large cooking essels.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your
hood.

Installation Pre aration of mounting surface (Drywall)
1. Select a mounting height comfortable for the user and mark on wall behind
cooktop.
2. Mark center line of cooktop and draw ertical line from bottom of hood to the
ceiling.
3. Tape template, matching center-line and hood bottom as shown in Figure 2.
4. Mark centers of the 6 fastener locations through template on wall then remo e
template.
5. Mark wall with horizontal line 1" abo e highest and 1" below lowest fastener
location.
6. Find studs behind drywall by
tapping wall or using a stud finder. Mark the center of the studs with a ertical
line to the right and left of the marked fastener location.
Note: 2 x 6's must span at least 2 studs side to side.
7. Cutout drywall along marked lines. Install 2 x 6's between studs firmly flush with
stud front. Make sure all mounting screws will anchor to added lumber. Replace
drywall and refinish.
8. Remark center line and hood bottom on same location as before and tape
template on wall as in step 3 abo e.
9. Mount 2 mounting hooks with wood screws (supplied in mounting hardware kit)
on locations marked on template, then remo e template.
10. Install duct co er ceiling bracket to wall flush to ceiling with drywall anchors

21. Make sure to lea e this manual for the home owner.
Alternate - reduced ceiling height Installation:
The hood may be installed with only the lower part of the duct co er to reduce the
o erall height.
For the duct co er to slide down and engage the top of the hood, the ceiling bracket
must be mounted 1/4" below the ceiling.
The resulting space on top of the chimney can be filled with a 1/4 thick piece of
plywood cut to the inside cross section of the chimney co er and finished to match
the ceiling.
Cut the self-adhesi e rubber tape supplied with the hood in 4 identical sections.
Attach two pieces of tape to each side of the ceiling bracket. Figure 7.
Snap lower chimney duct co er into place around ceiling bracket.
Rear discharge:
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately abo e the hood. For ser iceability, a
mounting similar to the straight up discharge shown in Figure 4 should be used.

Use and Care
O erating Instructions
The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before cooking in order to
establish air currents upward through the hood.
Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.
Minimize cross drafts which will reduce the effecti eness of the hood.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE HOOD.
For satisfactory use of your hood, become familiar with the arious functions of the
hood as described below
A. Light ON-OFF switch
