requirements specified by the manufacturer of the cooktop or range. Improper installation, adjustment,

• Before installing or servicing the range hood, switch power off at the fuse box circuit breaker and lock
the electrical panel door to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the electrical

in the owner's manual. Use only the cleaners specified.

no less than 26" (66 cm). The required vertical distance may be longer for the range or cooktop being
