SECTION 1
Preparing the Range Hood
1. Unpack hood from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the
range hood you should have:
1 - Aluminum Grease Filter
1 - 3-1/4"x 10" Damper Assembly
3 - Damper Mounting Screws
4 - #8 Mounting Screws
1 - Wire Compartment Cover and Screw
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
NOTE: Some hoods may be shipped with a protective plastic adhered to the range hood. It is
recommended to leave this in place during installation to protect the hood from scratching.
Remove when the installation is complete.
2. Lay the hood flat on a table so the underside is facing you. Use a piece of cardboard to
avoid damaging the table or the hood.

Prepare the location for Hood Support
1. If the hood will be installed under cabinets that have a recessed bottom, it will be
necessary to install wood mounting strips (not included) so the hood will mount properly
(Figure 2).

2. The thickness of the strips should be the same as the recess of the cabinet and they
should be approximately 2" wide.
