INSTALL HOOD MOUNTING SCREWS

The two upper mounting screws must enter the horizontal
support or wall studs.
• With the template taped in place, use a punch to mark
mounting bracket screw locations.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes in 4 of the punched locations
in the lower bracket. If the bottom 2 pilot holes do not enter
wood, enlarge the holes to 3/8" and install metal wall
fastener anchors (provided).
• Remove the template.
• Install the 2 top mounting screws, leave 1/4" gap between
the screw head and the wall. This will allow the keyhole
slot on the hood frame to engage the screw head.
WALL VENT IS 27-3/4" MIN.

INSTALL DUCT BRACKET

The duct bracket should be installed against the back wall
and flush with the ceiling; the point where the ceiling meets
the wall should be level for the bracket and duct cover to fit
flush. This bracket will hold the duct cover in place at the top.
Secure the bracket to the wall:
• Align the diamond centerline cutout on the bracket
with the penciled centerline on the wall.
• Mark 2 screw hole locations in the wall.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes in the marked locations.
• If pilot holes do not enter wood studs, enlarge the holes
to 3/8" and install metal wall fastener anchors (provided).
• If mounting directly to a masonry wall, obtain appropriate
#10 masonry screw anchors. Drill and install per the
fastener supplier's instructions.
• Drive screws, by hand, into the fasteners to allow anchors
to expand. Remove the screws.
• Secure the bracket to the wall with wood screws and/or
fasteners.
