Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

• Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
• This unit must be grounded.
• Clean grease filters frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and safety of your range hood. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.

4.1 Dimensions and Cutout

Before beginning installation, ensure you have the correct dimensions for your cabinet cutout. The product dimensions are 27.8 inches (W) x 11.5 inches (D) x 10.3 inches (H). The recommended installation cutout dimensions are 26 inches (W) x 10.2 inches (D).

4.2 Ducted vs. Ductless Installation

Your range hood can be installed in two configurations:

• Ducted Installation: Vents air directly outside through a 6-inch round top vent. This method provides the most effective removal of cooking fumes.
• Ductless (Recirculating) Installation: For homes without external venting options, the hood can be converted to ductless operation by installing charcoal filters (Model CFZMG13, sold separately). These filters absorb odors and grease before recirculating the air back into the kitchen.

Refer to the full installation guide provided with your product for step-by-step instructions on mounting and wiring.
