AND WALL  
FLUSH OR RECESSED BOITOM CABINET  
NOTE: For easier installation make all hood and  
vent cutouts in the cabinet and wall before cabinet is  
permanently fastened in place. It is recommended that  
the power supply be brought into the hood from the wall  
below the cabinet as shown in Fig. 1. However, an  
optional location is shown in Fig. 2, where the power  
supply enters the top of the hood by passing through  
the wall cabinet.  
A. WALL CABINET WITH RECESSED BOTTOM:  
Add the 2 required filler strips as shown in Fig. 3.  
B. WALL CABINET WITH FLUSH BOTTOM: In  
some cases it may be necessary to provide clearance  
for the connection box cover mounting screw which  
extends slightly through the top of the hood. Clearance  
can be provided, if necessary, by carefully positioning  
the hood against the bottom of the cabinet and marking  
the screw position; clearance may then be provided  
by drilling a 1/4” hole in the cabinet bottom.

heads of the screws extend 1/2” below the bottom of  
the cabinet. Raise the hood against the bottom of the  
cabinet, making sure that the heads of the mounting  
screws protrude through the hole section of the  
keyhole slots as shown in Fig. 11. Before tightening  
the mounting screws, attach the power supply cable  
to the hood. Then push the hood back against the  
wall and tighten the mounting screws.
