What happens here
After installing the new vent, read the range hood's installation instructions to determine the required clearance for electric or gas stoves (e.g., 27 inches). Mark the mounting points on the wall using a template or measurements. Secure the range hood mounting bracket to the wall, making sure it's level. Then, lift the range hood into place and attach it to the mounting bracket. Connect the flexible ductwork to the vent opening and seal it with aluminum tape. Connect the range hood's electrical wiring to the previously run electrical connection, ensuring all connections are secure and safe.
Goal: Mount and connect the new range hood.
