ventilating duct and electrrcal wiring. Allow %” (1.91
cm) extra on ventilating opening toward the front of
the cabinet directly above the hood (See Figure 4).
Be sure to minimize openings through the outside
walls or ceiling. These will have to be sealed later.

to the National Electrical Code and applicable local
codes. DO NOT turn power on until installation is
complete.

Lift the hood into positron and mark the hole
locations on the cabinet for each of the four keyhole
mounting slots.
Remove the hood and start all four screws in the
center of the narrow neck of the keyholeslot marked
on the cabinet bottom (See Figure 2).
Install proper ductwork.
Lift the hood into position simultaneously feeding
the electrical wire through the knockout.

hood to the cabinet. Be sure the screw heads are in

Complete electrical wiring in the juction box
according to the National Electrical Code and
applicable local codes.
Replace junction box cover.
Seal holes around ventilating pipe and wiring
passing through ceiling oroutsidewall with caulking
or insulation to prevent energy loss.
NOTE: It has been found that a large part of the energy
loss of the average home is due to outside air infiltrating
the structure. Seal around duct work where it passes
through outside walls or ceiling. Seal around electrical
wiring and be sure the damper is working properly.

permanent type alumrnum filter should be removed and
cleaned periodically. (Figure 6).

detergent, and thoroughly rinsed. The aluminum filter can
be cleaned in a drshwasher.

POSSIBLE
CARE OF EXTERIOR SURFACES:
Your range hood is a beautifully finished addition to your
kitchen and requires only the care you give your range to
preserve its lasting beauty. Clean with a mild detergent to
preserve finish. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.
CARE OF FAN MOTOR:
Fan motor has lrfe time sealed bearings that never need
oiling under normal usage. A few drops on each bearing
after three years of heavy usage will prolong the motor
life. Clean motor with a damp cloth and grease cutting
detergent when a heavy coating of grease has
accumulated.
