Pre-Installation (continued)
PLANNING INSTALLATION
Number of people required: 2 strongly recommended .
1 . Choose a location for your range hood . The range hood location
should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows,
doors, and strong heating vents .
2 . Measure all distances to ensure the proper position of the range
hood (A) and chimney set (B, C) .
- The size of the range hood installation location must have
a width (1) of at least 35 .5 in . (900 mm) and a depth (2) of
at least 23 .6 in . (600 mm) to accommodate the size of the
range hood (A) .
- The minimum distance (3) from the cooking surface to
the range hood is 26" (660 mm). If your range specifies a
different distance, use the greater distance of the two . For
best performance, distance (3) should not exceed 36 in
(914 mm) .
3 . Supplied mounting hardware can be used to secure the hood
to most ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify
suitability of the supplied mounting hardware for your ceiling
type .
4 . Due to the size and weight of this range hood, the mounting
plate must be firmly attached to the ceiling. For drywall or
plaster ceilings, the range hood mounting plate (D) must be
attached to wooden trusses or joists . If this is not possible, a
support structure must be built behind the plaster or drywall
(preferred) .
5 . Put a thick, protective covering over your counter, cooktop, or
range to protect it from damage and dirt during installation .
Remove any hazardous objects around the area .
