FRAMING BEHIND CROSS SUPPORT
INSTALL BACKSPLASH
OPTIONAL
If optional Model BSK6 series backsplash is
used, attach it to the finished wall. Secure hood
mounting brackets to the backsplash and omit
wall framing described below.
INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
DUCTED CONFIGURATION ONLY
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run be-
tween the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round
metal ductwork to cap and work back to-
wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.
INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKETS
1. Construct wood wall framing that is flush
with interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a) the framing is centered over installa-
tion location.
b) the height of the framing will allow the
mounting brackets to be secured to the
framing within the dimensions shown.
2. After wall surface is finished, secure mount-
ing brackets to framing using dimensions
shown.

Note: minimum hood distance above cook top must not be less than 24”. A maximum
of 31” above cook top is highly recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 31” are at the installer and users discretion; and if ceiling height and
flue length permit.
