Back wall preparation
NOTE: Hardware provided is for mounting through
standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs.
Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other
types of mounting situations.
IMPORTANT: The hood needs to be centered over the
cooking surface for best performance.

1. Turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service
panel to prevent power from being turned ON.
2. Calculate the hood installation height as described on
page 12 .

3. Draw a horizontal line at a distance above the cooking
surface equal to the hood installation height plus 16''
(406 mm). This line is the mounting location of the
wood bracket shipped with the hood.
4. Find the centerline of the hood. Draw a vertical line
along this centerline up to the horizontal line drawn in
Step 3.
5. The hood is mounted to the wall using the wood
bracket shipped with the hood. Remove the wood
bracket located at the back side of the hood by
removing the two shipping screws (discard screws).
6. Mark the centerline of the wood bracket.

7. Locate a stud on both sides of the hood centerline to
use for mounting the wood bracket.
8. Align the top of the wood bracket along the
horizontal line drawn in Step 3. Align the centerlines
of the bracket and cooktop.
9. Drill a 3'' (76 mm) deep 1/4'' (6 mm) tap hole through
the wood bracket, wall, and into the stud.
10. Remove the bracket and on a sturdy surface, make the
hole larger by drilling a 5/16'' (8 mm) hole through the
wood bracket. Use a countersink bit to make a hole
large enough to countersink the screw heads to
prevent interference with the hood.
11. Use two (2), 3'' (76 mm) screws to attach the wood
bracket to the wall, as shown in figure.
12. On the wood bracket, mark the locations used to
hang the hood according to the figure below.

13. Drill a 3/16'' (4.8 mm) tap hole through the wood
bracket and wall. These 5/8'' (16 mm) screws do not
need to go into the studs.
14. Use two (2) 1-1/2'' (38 mm) screws to secure the wood
bracket leaving 1/4'' (6 mm) of each screw exposed
for hanging the hood.

1. The transition supplied with the hood connects to
standard 10-inch round duct. Ensure the transition is
attached and the screws do not hinder damper
operation.
2. Installations require a cutout in the ceiling to
accommodate 10" (254 mm) duct (see "Ceiling
cutout" on page 12 .)
