STEP 01
Prepare the wall
Mark the hood position and check alignment with a level. Confirm the mounting points and wall support. Have ductwork and the electrical connection prepared before lifting.
THE INSTALLATION GUIDE
Plan the installation.
Enjoy the finished piece.
A photo overview for your installer: review it alongside the exact insert manufacturer’s instructions and the approved shell specifications.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The work starts
before lifting the hood.
Confirm the fit and support
Before finishing or mounting, inspect the shell and check the approved dimensions and actual insert fit. For an insert-specific opening, stop and contact us if it does not fit; do not alter it to resolve a suspected error. For a standard uncut removable bottom panel under Section 2 of our Terms, a qualified installer must first verify the actual insert, manufacturer’s cutout requirements, available space, clearances and support, then prepare the opening and check fit before final finishing and mounting. Do not operate the insert against a closed panel. See Section 2 of our Terms for the uncut-panel option. Confirm cooktop clearance and wall support; your installer should choose hardware suited to the hood and wall construction.
Prepare the connections
Plan the duct route and electrical connection before mounting. Use the duct type and size specified for the exact insert. Electrical work should be handled by a qualified professional with power isolated.
Installation is not included in the hood shell purchase. This overview does not replace appliance instructions or a site-specific installation plan.
STEP 02
Position the shell
Lift the shell into place and align it with the marked guidelines. Keep it supported while the installer positions the hardware and checks height and level.
STEP 03
Secure the shell
Use mounting hardware appropriate for the wall and hood. Check the shell is level and secure, keeping the duct connection accessible.
STEP 04
Connect the duct
Connect prepared ductwork to the insert outlet according to the insert instructions. Check the connection is secure and sealed before final positioning.
STEP 05
Fit the insert
Align the insert with the shell opening and secure it using the manufacturer’s specified mounting points and fasteners. Check that it sits evenly.
STEP 06
Check the mounting
Review all mounting points and tighten fasteners as directed. Confirm the insert and lower panel sit evenly. Complete the electrical connection before restoring power.
STEP 07
Fit filters & test
Fit the filters as specified, restore power once installation is complete, and test each fan speed and the lights. Ask the installer to investigate rattling, vibration or loose parts before use.
