outdoors.  
WARNING—To reduce the risk of fire,  
use only metal ductwork.  
When using your hood…  
• Never leave surface units unattended at high  
settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may ignite and spread if hood is  
used. Use surface unit heat settings recommended  
by the manufacturer and adequate-size utensils.  
When you get your new hood…  
• Never use your cooking appliance for warming  
or heating the room. The electrical wiring of  
your range hood may not withstand the resulting  
excessive heat.  
• Have it installed and properly grounded by  
a qualified technician in accordance with the  
installation instructions.  
• Have the installer show you the location of  
the hood circuit breaker or fuse and mark it  
for easy reference.  
• Keep the hood clean and clean grease filter  
or replace charcoal filter as recommended to  
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.  
Take the time to read our suggestions for best use.  
WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK  
OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:  
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high  
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on  
low or medium settings.  
WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK  
OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR  
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE  
THE FOLLOWING:  
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be  
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with  
all applicable codes and standards, including  
fire-rated construction.  
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high  
heat or when cooking flaming foods.  
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should  
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.  
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware  
appropriate for the size of the surface element.

FLUSH OR RECESSED BOTTOM CABINET  
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.

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 1/4hole in the cabinet bottom.

2. Remove the round knockout on the top of the hood.  
Drill an appropriate size hole in each of the three tabs.  
Using pliers, bend the three tabs perpendicular to the  
hood top. Insert the first piece of 7diameter duct so  
the tabs are outside of the duct. Mark on the duct the  
locations of the holes in the tabs. Drill the appropriate  
size hole and, using screws, fasten the duct.

of the hood (See Fig. 13 Model: JV327) (See Fig. 12  
Models: JN327, JV337 & JV347).

2. To locate the 4 mounting holes, position the hood  
carefully against the bottom of the wall cabinet and  
mark the screw positions through the keyhole slots  
in the hood. Drill 3/32pilot holes for the mounting  
screws in the small end of the keyhole.  
Screws

3. Partially drive the 4 mounting screws so that the  
heads of the screws extend 1/2below 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.
