LOCATION PREPARATION
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons with a
similar qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from
installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Excessive accumulated grease
in old duct work should be cleaned out or duct work should be replaced if necessary, to avoid the
possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to ensure proper connection, and all joints
should be properly taped.
Note 1: On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective film from all exterior surfaces
of the hood and chimney prior to final installation.
Note 2: At least two people will be required to mount the hood.
MOUNTING HEIGHTS & CLEARANCE
The minimum mounting height between range top
to hood bottom should be no less than 25"
The maximum mounting height should be no
higher than 30"
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
result in heat damage and fire hazard; while
hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and
would lose their performance and efficiency.
