1 INSTALL HOOD SUPPORT
IMPORTANT: Framing must be capable of
supporting 100 lbs.
• Locate at least 2 vertical studs at the wood mounting
location by tapping drywall with a hammer or use a
stud finder.
• Center the supplied wood horizontal support, left to
right and below the marked line.
• Drill 1/8
″ pilot holes through the support, drywall
and into the studs. Secure the support to 2 or more
vertical studs with supplied wood screws.
IMPORTANT: Screws must penetrate at least 1-1/2
″
into vertical studs. Countersink screws into support.
• Install mounting screws in the center of the wood
support, 13-1/16
″ from the centerline. The screws
should protrude forward 1/4
″. This 1/4″ gap will
provide clearance to hang the hood.
2 INSTALL TRANSITION
• Place the transition piece over the hood exhaust.
Secure transition to hood with 4 screws provided.
• Use duct tape to seal the connection.
3 INSTALL HOOD ONTO WALL
• Lift the hood and place over the wood support.
The top keyhole slots in the hood should engage
the protruding mounting screws. Allow the hood
to slide down into position.
• Pull house wiring through knockout at the rear or
the top of the hood.
• Check to be sure the hood is level and centered. The
arrow shaped cutout in the back of the hood allows
viewing the marked centerline.
• Remove cover from junction box.
Drill Bottom Mounting Hole Locations
• Drill 1/8
″ pilot holes into the two lower mounting
holes. Enlarge the holes if they did not enter studs to
3/8
″. Tap anchors for wall fasteners into bottom holes.
–Install screws by hand into the fasteners to allow
anchors to expand against the wall. Remove screws.
• Using two large flat washers (supplied), install wood
screws or wall fastener screws, loosely, into lower
mounting holes. Do not tighten.
• Check hood level. Tighten upper screws. Tighten
lower mounting screws.
• For additional security, drive screws through the
original wood support screw holes in the back of
the hood.
