INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE
STARTING INSTALLATION.
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:
2 - Aluminum Grease Filters
1 - 3-1/4"x 10" Damper
3 - Damper Mounting Screws
4 - #8 Mounting Screws
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.
3. Remove the following items from the hood and place in a safe place until needed (Figure 1):
Grease filters: Pull on tabs to remove.
Bottom cover: Remove the 4 screws holding it in place.
Lamp cover: Squeeze in the sides. The cover is held in place by tension against the tabs
on the hood.
Wire compartment cover: Remove the screw holding it in place.
Blower: Using a 3/8" nut driver or ratchet, remove the 4 nuts holding the blower in place.
SECTION 2
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.
3. Install the strips using appropriate length wood screws (not included). Make sure the
strips line up to the keyhole slots of the range hood.
SECTION 3
Prepare the Hood for Installation
1. Choose the type of ducting you will require. This model is equipped to vent either
Vertically or Horizontally through a 3-1/4" x 10" duct. It can be modified to be ductless
(re-circulates the air back into the kitchen) with the addition of 2 models CF-01 Charcoal
Filters (not included) (Figure 3).
2a. Horizontal or Vertical - Remove the apprpriate square knockout by inserting a screw driver
under the edge and break the tabs holding it in place. Peel back with pliers (Figure 4).
2b. Ductless - Lift up and remove the hood’s vent insert located behind the grill, exposing
the front air slots. Do not use a screwdriver or any other object that could scratch the
hood (Figure 4).
3. Determine where the electrical service will enter the hood and remove the appropriate
electrical knockout by inserting a screw driver into the slot and rocking back and forth
until the knockout comes loose (Figure 4).
4. Once the proper knockout(s) have been removed, either hold the hood up to the
installation location and mark the locations of the ducting, electrical, and mounting holes
or mark the locations by measurement.
5. Cut appropriate holes for ducting connection and electrical connection in the wall/cabinet.
6. For 3-1/4" x 10" vertical or horizontal ducting, install the damper assembly to the hood by
placing the damper assembly over the opening and securing with the two provided screws.
Using approved duct tape, tape around the collar to seal off any air leaks (Figure 5).
7. Install an approved wire connector to the electrical knockout of the hood and guide the
electrical cable through the hood, allowing at least 6" of wire for connections and tighten.
