Planning the Location
WARNING
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances during
planning and installation. Contact your local building
department for further information.
• The range hood is heavy. To prevent personal injury
and property damage caused by the hood coming
loose from the ceiling, use only the hood mounting
bracket provided with the unit.
■ Carefully check the location where the hood is to be
installed. The hood should be placed for convenient
access. Make certain that electrical power can be
provided in the selected location.
■ The hood model selected must be as wide as the
cooktop surface or wider.
■ Install the range hood and cooking appliance(s) so
that they can be removed if service is required.
■ Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions
are met or exceeded (see page 3). Dimensions
shown provide minimum clearances, unless other-
wise noted.
■ The mounting bracket must be attached directly to
the studs in the ceiling, or to a reinforced mounting
block secured to the studs. See below for mounting
bracket hole dimensions.
■ The mounting bracket must be mounted directly
above the center of the cooking surface. The mount-
ing surface must be level.
■ Allow clearance in the center of the mounting bracket
for the exhaust duct to pass through the ceiling.

Planning the Duct Work
WARNING
• To prevent combustion by-products, smoke or odors
from entering the home and to improve efficiency,
tape all duct joints securely.
• Use only duct work deemed acceptable by state,
municipal and local codes.
• DO NOT install an additional in-line or external
blower to increase the length of the duct run. Even
small differences between blower air flow rates can
greatly reduce the air draw of the hood.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside the house or building. Do not
vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or
into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
■ All duct work materials (including screws and duct
tape) must be purchased separately by the customer.
■ When planning new duct work, always look for the
shortest, most direct route to the outside.
■ The hood exhaust connects to an 8-inch round duct.
You can increase the duct size over the duct run if
desired. To prevent a back draft, never decrease the
duct size over the run. If existing duct work is smaller
than 8 inches in diameter, remove it and replace it
with 8-inch duct work.
■ Do not rely on tape alone to seal duct joints. Fasten
all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all
joints with certified silver tape or duct tape. Use sheet
metal screws as required to support the duct weight.
■ To prevent back-drafts, a damper at the duct outlet
may also be required.
■ Make sure duct work does not interfere with floor
joists or wall studs.
