Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist
or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types
of walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the
materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Recommended installation height:
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference.
The lower the hood is above the cooktop, the more efficient
the capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke.

Installation

Prepare location
• It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
• Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum
before you select your hood.
1
Disconnect power.
2 Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or
nonvented.
3 Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.

Ductless (Recirculating)

In cases where it should not be
possible to discharge cooking
fumes and vapour to the
outside.
Attach a charcoal filter and the
deflector on the duct cover
support bracket. Fumes and
vapours are recycled through
the top grille by means of a
duct connected to the transition
and the transition mounted on
the deflector.
For this version only:
purchase the Ductless
Recirculating Kit.
Minimum Duct Size:
6" Round Pipe.
I CAUTION
For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the
bottom is at least 30" (76.2 cm) above the cooking surface.
For electric/induction cooktop & range installations: Mount
the hood so the bottom is at least 24" (61 cm) above the
cooking surface.
There is no maximum mounting height, however, we
recommend mounting the hood no greater than 36" (91.4
cm) above the cooking surface. For every inch (2.54 cm)
above 36" (91.4 cm), fume and moisture capture efficiency
diminishes at an increasing rate and may not deliver an
acceptable level of ventilating performance.
This hood is intended for household use.
PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR SPECIFIC
APPLICATION. Check your ceiling height and hood height
before selecting your hood.
Mounting the duct cover bracket
1 Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
canopy hood will be installed. Disconnect power.
2 Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24"
(61 cm) for an electric cooking surface, a minimum of
30" (76.2 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a suggested
maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom
of the hood. Mark a reference line on the wall.
3 Tape template in place, aligning the template centerline
and bottom of template with hood bottom line and with
the centerline marked on the wall.
