reconnect the vent hood to the electrical source.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before installing unit.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electric shock.
Disconnect power before installing range hood.
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 onto the covered surface.
3. Separate the two-sections of the vent structure.
4. Remove the tape from the damper aps.

9
STEP 2 - PLAN INSTALLATION
1. Measure:
• The oor to ceiling height.
• The distance from the range cooking surface to the ceiling.
• The distance from the range cooking surface to the bottom of the range
hood.

Cooking Surface, Suggested 36" (91 cm)
Max.
d Ceiling Height
2. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. Short
straight duct runs will provide the most airow.
3. Find the center point of your range/cooktop. Drop a plumb line from your ceiling
to this point on your cooking surface. Mark the ceiling where the plumb line
starts.
NOTE: It is required that you install cross braces between the ceiling joists. See
“Install Cross Braces.”
4. Calculate the required height of the vent mounting structure and vent cover.
The range hood will t on walls between 8½' and 9½' depending on the mounting
height of the range hood.
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.

10
STEP 3 - INSTALL DUCTWORK
IMPORTANT:
• An island range hood exhausts vertically up through the ceiling and out the roof.
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a ue that is used for exhausting fumes
from other appliances.
• Exhaust air cannot be discharged into an attic space or a garage.
1. Plan where the ductwork will run between the range hood and the outside.

c Hood
2. A short straight duct run will produce the most airow. Longer lengths and
elbow ducts will reduce the eciency of the blower.
3. Install a roof cap outside your home.
4. Connect a 6" metal duct to the cap and work backward toward the hood.
5. Ensure connections are completely sealed with duct tape.
STEP 4 - INSTALL CROSS BRACING
1. In the ceiling, install cross-braces between the ceiling joists.
NOTE: The bottom of the cross braces must be level to ensure that the island
hood hangs level.

STEP 5 - INSTALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before installing unit.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electric shock.
1. Install a grounded 3 prong 110/120V receptacle on the ceiling within the
dimensions of the vent cover.
NOTE: All electrical wiring must be done by a electrician person and in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards. This range hood must
be properly grounded. Removing the plug from the power cord will void the
warranty of the range hood.
STEP 6 - CALCULATE MOUNTING HEIGHT
1. First, consider the following when calculating the mounting height. See “Plan
Installation.”
• Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24” (61 cm) for an electric
cooking surface, a minimum of 30” (76 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a
suggested maximum of 36” (91 cm) above the range to the bottom of the
hood.
• Your eye level - Mounting the island range hood at a height where the
controls are at eye level is usually most convenient.
• Design - Factors such as symmetry and the t of the vent cover.

NOTES:
• If the calculated height of the vent mounting structure is shorter than
the actual height of the mounting structure, you will need to have both
the mounting structure and the vent cover cut to t your installation. We
recommend that a stainless steel fabricator do this to ensure a straight even
cut.
• If the calculated height of the vent mounting structure is larger than the
actual height of the vent structure, you will need to add an extension.
STEP 7 - MOUNT TO THE CEILING
IMPORTANT: If the range hood is being installed above an installed range, ensure
the range is turned o and is completely cooled before beginning installation.
1. Center the upper section of the vent mounting structure on the ceiling around
the exhaust duct opening. Ensure that:
• The markings align with the cross braces between the ceiling joints.
• The vent structure is square with the cooking surface below.
• The side of the vent structure that has the arrow on it faces the front.
When installed, this is the side of the hood that will have the controls.
2. Mark the upper screw holes on the ceiling.
