MOUNTED ON A CABINET WITH .A FLUSH BOTTOM
3. For installation onto a recessed bottom cabinet:
a. Measure the space (under the cabinet between the inside front edge and
inside back edge (Fig.5). With a saber saw, cut two 1"x2" wood filler strips
(purchased locally) to fill in the bottom of the cabinet.
b. Start a 1 " 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

This style of range must be vented via ducting to the outside of the house.
Follow general rules when ducting the hood: Use correct size of ducting
(6" or 7” round ), do not reduce size of ducting, make all turns gradual,
no short corners. If ducting ran will be longer than 10 feet enlarge duct by
at least 1" inch diameter after each 10 feet. Tape all joints in ducting and
all gasketed openings on hood for a tight seal.
Loosen 2 screws (Ref.1), fit the gray plastic round collar / 6” over the circular
opening on top (Ref.2) and fasten 2 screws (included) in order to provide a tight
seal for ducting to attach to (Ref.3), if you want to use 7” ducting, take 7” converter
