INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
range hood is installed.
■ If you are installing the optional backsplash, follow the
instructions included with that product.
■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
■ Check that all installation parts have been removed from the
shipping carton.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall
exhaust.
3. Select a fl at surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Using two or more people, lift range hood onto covered
surface.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
The range hood is attached to the wall with the wood support
that is attached to the back of the range hood.
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
range hood will be installed (B).
2. Select a mounting height “X” between a minimum of 24"
(61cm) from electric cooking surfaces or 30" (76.2 cm) from
gas cooking surfaces, and a suggested maximum of 36"
(91.4 cm), above the cooking surface and the bottom of the
range hood. Mark a reference line on the wall (C).
3. Remove the wood support from the back of the range hood
by loosening the 2 screws from the inside.
4. Tape template in place, aligning the WALL template
centerline and bottom of template with hood bottom line and
with the centerline marked on the wall.
5. Align the wood where the template indicates.
6. Locate the marks for the studs, and then draw two vertical
lines on the wood support marking where the studs intersect
with the wood support.
7. Mark the center of each line, remove the wood support from
the wall, and then drill a pilot hole at each mark.
8. Again, line the top of the wood support up with the wood
support location line, and then center it on the center line.
9. Push a pencil point or awl through the holes you just drilled
in the wood support (A) to mark the location of the pilot holes
for two screws that will go into the studs.
10. Also mark the locations of two additional pilot holes (B) by
pushing a pencil point or awl through pre-drilled holes in the
center of the wood support. These holes are for the supplied
wall anchors. See the diagram below.
11. Remove the wood support, and then drill four pilot holes into
the wall.
12. Push two of the supplied wall anchors into the two pilot
holes at the center.
13. Fasten the wood support to the wall by screwing 2 fi xing
screws 6 x 80 mm (0.25 x 3.15 in) through the wood support
into the pilot holes you drilled in the studs.
14. Using the rear installation diagram as a guide (See page 7),
cut the knockout wiring holes in the wall.
15. Screw two 6 x 80 mm (0.25 x 3.15 in) screws into the holes
(B) in the center of the wood support. Screw them through
the support into the anchors underneath. Leave a 1⁄4"
(6.4mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw
head to slide range the hood into place.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
