c. Tools and Materials Required
~ Drill.electric of ratchet drive. with 3/16" wood bit (for drilling starter
holes and 1¥4"wood bit (to drillan access holes in the cabinet or
kitchen wall for the electric power line)
~ One common screwdriver.
~ Plier (for opening electrical knockout).
~ Two 1" (thick)x2" (wide)x12" (approximate length) wood strips for
recessed bottom kitchen cabinet installation only. (Purchase locally).
~ Electrical wire and supplies to comply with local cords.
~ Four 1 ¥4 " long flat head wood screws (purchase locally) to mount
wood strips.
~ Pencil and ruler for marking locations. Saber saw or keyhole saw for
cutting the 1"x2"wood strips to length.
D. Ducting
This style of range must be vented via ducting to the outside of the house
Followgeneral rules when ducting the hood: Use correct size of ducting
at least 6" round. do nof reduce size of ducting. make all turns gradual.
no short corners. Ifducting ran willbe longer than 10 feet enlarge duct by
at least 1"inch diameter after each 10feet. Tape alljoints in ducting and
all gasketed openings on hood for a tight seal.
For round ducting from the top:
Fit the gray plastic (Included) over the circular opening on top in order
to providea tightseal forductingto attach to. TheGRAYring is designed

wood filler strips (purchased locally) to fill in the bottom of the
cabinet.
b. Start a 1Y4" long wood screw (purchased locally) about 3" from
each end of the 1"x2" wood strips (Fig.6)
c. Position the strips on the cabinet bottom and screw the strips
securely to the cabinet (Fig.7)
d. For a more secure installation. drill four 3/16" holes from inside
the cabinet. down into the wood filler strips. Insert screws into the
starter holes in cabinet and tighten screws until wood filler strips
are secured under cabinet.
3. Center the hood in place beneath the cabinet and flush with the front
of the cabinet. Mark the following:
a. The four keyhole mounting slots for the hood. Markthese onto the
