[. . . ] When replacing an existing range hood with your new Haier Range Hood, turn OFF the electrical power to the existing unit before removal. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, turn the power OFF at the service panel and if possible, lock the service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. Do not repair, replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing. [. . . ] Another option, if your kitchen has a soffit above the cabinet, is to run the duct up into the soffit and then discharge the air horizontally through the outside wall to a wall cap. Horizontal Discharge - If the range is located against an outside wall, then horizontal discharging is ideal, provided there are no obstructions such as wall joists or places where openings are difficult to make. If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to ensure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and the damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the range hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or back drafts. If this condition exists, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap, it is easier to duct vertically and than to use an elbow. Ductless ­ In ductless installations, air is vented back into the kitchen through the opening in the range hood grille. If you do not anticipate heavy cooking, this method may be preferable. Ductless installation requires the use of a charcoal filters (included) to remove odors, which should be replaced at regular intervals depending on use. Check with your local retailer or dealer for replacements. Note: This filter is not dishwasher safe! 5 English For model HHX2030 you must remove the vent cover from the slots on the front of the range hood. Save the vent cover for possible future use. Cabinet Preparation for Hood Support Mount the hood so that the bottom of the hood is between 24"-30" above the stovetop. When cutting or drilling into wall or cabinet, be careful not to cut existing electrical wiring. If the bottom of the cabinet is recessed above the bottom of the cabinet door, then it is necessary to install wood strips on each side of the recessed area on the bottom of the cabinet where the range hood will be mounted. The wood strips should line up with the 4 keyhole slots on the top of the range hood. Fasten the wood strips with wood screws about 3" in from each end. Note: The thickness of the wood strips should be slightly more than the recessed dimension. Measure and mark the electrical wiring opening in the wall or the cabinet. If the hood is to be vented, also mark and measure the duct opening in the wall or cabinet. Preparation of Electrical Connections Note: If replacing an existing hood, the electrical cable may need to be re-routed to the desired position. Determine the location of the electrical cable to connect to the range hood. fig. Remove the electrical knockout on the back or top of the range hood and install a standard electrical cable clamp. Transfer the location of the range hood electrical knockout to either the bottom of the cabinet or the wall. Drill or cut a hole in the adjoining surface to make room for the electrical cable clamp.
