Research, plan and prepare the optional accessories & tools.
Duct venting and accessories (NOT INCLUDED)
• If for new installation or your old range hood doesn’t have exhaust duct, prepare
to cut the openings through the bottom of the cabinet, wall, or top cabinet to
ceiling. And purchase the 6” metal duct (or 6” semi-rigid aluminum duct for
easy connection). Refer to Section 5 VENTING METHODS for detail.
• Check the existing exhaust duct size. If not 6” round metal duct, try to
get the converter / reducer / adapter / elbow as shown in the pictures.
• Damper is NOT included. Because the damper generates NOISE when the shutters are flipping, we DO
NOT recommend installing the damper directly attached to the top vent of the range hood. You can install
the damper between ducts and close to the air outlet near roof or side wall. If the roof cap or side wall cap
already has a damper, don’t need to add the damper.
• Also prepare the cutting tools (jig saw or reciprocating saw), screw drivers or power drill, level,
measuring tape, knife, duct/foil tape, screws, marker/pencil, etc.
• 2 people are required for the installation.
