F. PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION  
1. If you want to move the electric range to make room for working on the cabinet  
turn off the 220 volt power for the electric range at the service entrance.  
2. Before moving a gas range, shut off the gas.  
NOTE: 1. SKIP FOLLOWING STEPS 3A THROUGH 3D IF THE HOOD IS TO BE  
MOUNTED ON A CABINET WITH A FLUSH BOTTOM.  
2. A FLUSH BOTTOM MUST CUT AN AT LEAST 6”X6” BY SQUARE TO  
FIT FOR A DUCTING VENTILATION (REF FIG.11)  
3. For installation onto a recessed bottom cabinet:  
a. Measure the space (under the cabinet between the inside front edge and  
inside back edge (Fig.5). With a saber saw, cut two 1"x2" wood filler strips  
(purchased locally) to fill in the bottom of the cabinet.  
b. Start a 1¼ " long wood screw (purchased locally) about 3" from each end  
of the 1"x2" wood strips (Fig.6)  
c. Position the strips on the cabinet bottom and screw the strips securely to  
the cabinet (Fig.7)  
d. For a more secure installation, drill four 3/16" holes from inside the cabinet,  
down into the wood filler strips. Insert screws into the starter holes in  
cabinet and tighten screws until wood filler strips are secured under cabinet.  
4. Center the hood in place beneath the cabinet and flush with the front of the  
cabinet. Mark the following:  
a. The six keyhole mounting slots for the hood. Mark these onto the bottom of  
the cabinet; or, if the cabinet bottom is recessed. Onto the wood strips (Fig.7)  
b. The electrical knockout hole. (Fig.1)

4. Screw the four 1" wood screws (for  
mounting the hood) into the exact  
center of the arrow and of the keyhole  
mounting slots marked on the cabinet  
bottom (for flush installations), or  
marked on the 1”x2” wood strips (for  
recessed cabinet installation) (Fig.7)  
Do not turn the mounting screws in all  
the way. Allow 3/8" of screw to project,  
so the hood can be fitted place.  
Strips secured

G. PROVIDING ELECTRICAL POWER  
G. Providing Electrical Power  
Note: Please also refer P.8 "I. Making the Electrical Connection"  
1. After turning off the proper 120 volt circuit at the service entrance,  
drill out the electrical power line access hole marked on the cabinet  
bottom or wall. Use a 1¼”wood bit. To operate the electric drill, use  
an extension cord connected to another circuit. (Fig.8)  
2. Fish the electrical power line through the access hole drilled in the wall or  
bottom of the cabinet. Attach an appropriate connector (purchased locally)  
to the end of the power line for the type of wiring being installed. Follow all  
codes. (Fig.9)

This style of range must be vented via ducting to the outside of the house.  
Follow general rules when ducting the hood: Use correct size of ducting  
(6" or 7round ), do not reduce size of ducting, make all turns gradual,  
no short corners. If ducting ran will be longer than 10 feet enlarge duct by  
at least 1" inch diameter after each 10 feet. Tape all joints in ducting and  
all gasketed openings on hood for a tight seal.  
For round ducting from the top:  
For the gray plastic (included) over the circular opening on top in order to  
provide a tight seal for ducting to attach to. The GRAY ring is designed to fit  
either 6or 7ducting.
