DETERMINE HOOD, DUCTWORK AND WIRING LOCATIONS
• Keep the wood support piece and its screws for later
installaton. Do not discard.
• Measure desired distance from the bottom of the hood
to the cooking surface, 24" min. to 36" max. Refer to the
previous page if the accessory duct cover will be used.
• Use a level to draw a horizontal line indicating the bottom
of the hood.
• Use a level to draw the cooktop centerline location.
• Measure 15-3/8" up from the horizontal lline for the
bottom of the hood. Draw another horizontal line.
• Measure 18" up from the line for the bottom of the hood,
draw another horizontal line to indicate the top of the
hood.
FOR VERTICAL (Straight Up) DUCTING:
• If venting out the ceiling, extend the centerline forward on
the ceiling.
- Measure 6-7/8" from drywall to mark centerline for a
7-1/2" dia. duct hole on the ceiling.
- If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness to the
6-7/8" dimension.
Venting through a soffit or upper cabinet:
• Follow the same procedure for ceiling ducting to cut the
7-1/2" dia. hole through the top of the cabinet or soffit.
• See Step 4, page 15 for details to cut opening for duct
transition.
House Wiring Location:
• The junction box is fastenend to the back of the hood
on the right side. See illustrations for hood knockout
locations.
Note:The junction box can be relocated to the inside top of
the hood.
House wiring may enter the junction box from the rear or
the top of the hood at the right side.
To route house wiring through the ceiling or soffit:
– Cut a hole approximately 1" dia., 5-7/8" forward on
the ceiling; 11-1/8" to the right of the centerline for 30"
models or 14-1/8" to the right of the centerline for 36"
models.
To route house wiring through the wall:
– Cut a hole approximately 1" dia. 10-1/16" down from the
top of the hood, 11-1/8" to the right of the centerline for
30" models or 14-1/8" to the right of the centerline for 36"
models..
• Remove top or rear knockout depending on your
installation.
• Install strain relief onto back or top of hood.
