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.
