6. It is recommended to use metal/aluminum duct/pipe with a
uniform size (ex. 6” round pipe from range hood to the outside).
7. If an elbow is necessary, a minimum of 12” straight run is
necessary before the elbow.
8. Clearance is the distance between the cooktop and the bottom
of the range hood. The recommended minimum clearance for
this model is 26” and the maximum clearance is 30”.
9. It is important to install the hood at the recommended
clearance. Installing too low could result in damage and/or fire
hazard while installing too high may result in reduced
performance and efficiency.
10. The first step is to secure the mounting screws on the wall. It
is important that the screws are hitting the wall studs. If
necessary, install a cross lumber frame in the wall as shown in
figure 1.
11. Attach the mounting screws on the wall, leaving about 1/8 of
an inch between the wall and the end point of the screws since
this is where you will hang your hood. Refer to figure 2.
12. Align the hood-mounting bracket to the screws on the wall and
hook into place. Then tighten the screws to secure the hood to
the wall.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE HOOD IS SECURE
BEFORE RELEASING.
13. Attach the vent adapter to the exhaust opening using the 4 x 8
mm screws.
14. Connect the pipe onto the vent adapter and seal the joint with
duct tape. Make sure that it is completely air tight.
15. Attach the two ductcover mounting bracket on the wall as seen
on figure 4.
16. Place the inner duct cover and outer duct cover over the range
hood.
17. Secure the outer duct cover to the range hood body with the 5
x 12 mm screws provided.
18. Pull the inner duct cover up until it aligns properly to the duct
cover mounting bracket, then secure to the duct cover
mounting bracket with 5 x 12 mm screws. Refer to figure 3 and
4.
19. Connect the range hood to an outlet.
20. If hardwired is desired, cut off the plug and connect three wires
(black, white, green) to the outlet wires and cap with wire
connectors. Connect the wires according to color (ex: black to
black).
