Preparation Before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT DEBRIS
FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.

Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the
outside. Refer to Figure 1.

A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more
efficiently.

Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as
possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.

Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation before
installing.

Important: Peel protective film off the hood, if any.

Use duct tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
CAUTION
: If moving the cooking range is necessary to
install the hood, turn off the power in an electric range at
the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE
MOVING A GAS RANGE. And use a protective covering
to protect cooktop and/or countertop from damage.
