If they are the same size, please proceed to step 4. If they are not the same size, for example, your at-home exhaustion pipe diameter is 5 inches, and your range hood exhaustion diameter is 6 inches, you need to obtain a 6 inch to 5-inch reducer from hardware store to connect these two together.4) For under cabinet installation, measure the position of your existing under cabinet hole and compare it with your range hood exhaustion hole. If they do not match, you need to alter yours under cabinet exhaustion hole position to match your range hood exhaustion hole position.5) Mark the position of the screw holes on top of range hood, which need to be drilled or screwed on in order to mount the range hood.6) Remove grease filter panels from the bottom of the range hood.7) Position the range hood against to cooking stove wall.
