Installing a Backsplash with a Keep Hot
Shelf
Figure 14: Backsplash with a Keep Hot Shelf
A hood can be installed first if the Backsplash is to be
installed with a Keep Hot Shelf given that the Keep Hot
Shelf covers the top mounting screws of the Backsplash.
To protect against scratches, leave protective film on the
Backsplash until after installation is complete.
If range is already installed, refer to the manufacturer's
instructions to disconnect gas and power supplies. Move
range forward to gain access to rear of unit.
1. Locate wall studs. Wall studs are usually installed with
a 16'' (406 mm) or 24'' (610 mm) space on center.
2. The height of the hood will determine the height of the
top edge of the Backsplash. The Backsplash should be
mounted so that the bottom rear edge of the Keep Hot
Shelf overlaps the Backsplash 1½'' (38 mm).
3. At the locations indicated in Figure 15, mount the lower
shelf brackets included with the Keep Hot Shelf
through the Backsplash and into the wall studs.
•
Due to variable wall stud widths and varying
Backsplash widths, in some cases, only one wall
stud may be found at the mounting location.
