IMPORTANT: For additional support and to minimize
vibration during operation, we strongly recommend
that the hood also be secured to the back wall with
wall fasteners. 4 Alternate Mounting Method

METHOD
IMPORTANT: Soffit framing must be capable
of supporting 100 lbs.
When necessary, the hood may be installed so that it
is supported by the soffit.
• The soffit should be constructed with 2 x 4’s.
• Determine the installation location.
• Continue the centerline forward on the bottom of
the cabinet or soffit.

• Mounting screws must be secured to 2 x 4 studs
(Dim. “A”) at locations shown in the above chart.
• Allow minimum opening (Dim. “B”) to
accommodate the duct transition in the soffit.
Cut a 10-3/4 ″ x 8-7/16″ hole through bottom of soffit or cabinet for
duct transition as shown.
• Drill four 1/8
″ pilot holes in locations shown.
– If mounting to the underside of a cabinet with
a recessed bottom, install shims to fill the gap.

the rear wall.
