INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before installing unit.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electric shock.
STEP 1 - UNPACK RANGE HOOD
1. Select a at surface for assembling the range hood and cover the 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.
2. Using two or more people, lift the range hood assembly onto the covered
surface.

10
STEP 2 - PLAN INSTALLATION
The range hood will t on walls between 7½' and 8½' depending on the mounting
height of the range hood.
Your range hood has been designed for use in both ducted and non-vented
(recirculating) installations. Follow the instructions specic to your installation
needs.
IMPORTANT: A non-vented (recirculating) installation requires an air deector and
two charcoal lters. To purchase these parts for your range hood model, please
contact Haier Customer Service.
1. First, consider the following when calculating the mounting height.
• The minimum mounting height - In general, the bottom of the vent hood
must be at least 24" (61 cm) from the range surface and 30" (76 cm) if
mounted above a gas range. Refer to the Installation manual for your range
for the required minimum mounting height.
• Your eye level - Mounting the range hood at a height where the controls are
at eye level is usually most convenient.
• Design - Factors such as symmetry, alignment within your cabinetry, and the
t of the vent cover.
2. Measure:
• The distance from the oor to the ceiling.
• The distance from the oor to the countertop.
• The required distance from the top of your range surface to the bottom of
the range hood.

3. Determine the center point of the opening. Mark a plumb line through this point
from the ceiling to the surface of the range/cooktop.
4. Mark the mounting height con the plumb line.
NOTE: It is recommended that you install a cross brace within the wall at the
mounting height.
5. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. Short
straight duct runs will provide the most airow.
6. Decide where to install the 110/120V receptacle within the dimensions of the
vent cover.
7. Calculate the required height of the vent cover.
NOTE: For a shorter installation you may need to have the vent structure and
vent cover sections cut. For a longer installation you may need to make an
extension piece.
STEP 3 - INSTALL DUCTWORK
Your wall mounted range hood is designed to be either ducted from behind the vent
cover through an outside wall, or used in a non-vented (recirculating) installation.
DUCTED INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Exhaust air must not be discharged into a ue that is used for the
exhaust fumes from other appliances. Exhaust air cannot be discharged into an attic
space or a garage.

8. Plan where the ductwork will run between the range hood and the outside.
NOTE: A short straight duct run will produce the most airow. Longer lengths
and elbow ducts will reduce the eciency of the blower.
9. Install a wall cap outside your home.
10. Connect a 6" round metal duct to the cap and work backwards towards the hood.
11. Ensure connections are completely sealed with duct tape.

the mounting bracket and replace after vent section is in place.
6. Seal all connections with vent clamps.
NOTE: After installing the range hood, complete the non-vented (recirculating)
installation by installing charcoal lters (not provided). See the “Charcoal Filters”
section for instructions.
STEP 4 - INSTALL CROSS BRACES
It is recommended that you install cross braces behind the drywall, between two wall
studs, at the level of the range hood mounting screws.
1. Measure the distance from the bottom of the range hood to the top of the
mounting holes. Mark this distance by drawing a horizontal line (Mounting
Height) across the plumb line.
2. Measure the distance between the two mounting holes, on the back of the range
hood. Center this measurement on the height line so that half the measurement
is on each side of the plumb line, and then mark the two locations for the range
hood mounting holes.
3. Behind the drywall and any backsplash material, install cross braces between the
wall studs at the level of the mounting screw holes.
