Confirm your centerline and side measurements of each piece
of hardware. Use removable tape, pencil, orerasable marker to
mark your ideal installation.
Measure the distance between the stovetop and the bottom
edge of your range hood and then confirm therecommended
height of 26” to 30”*; Mark where the bottom of your range will
be installed.
*Due to different ceiling height configurations, this recommend-
ed height range may not be applicable.
1.
Confirm where you want your range hood installed
Double check your bracket is level, then mount thebracket on
the wall using the predrilled holes in theprevious step. Utilize all
provided hardware as it isdesigned as a system for a safe
installation. Ifdifferent hardware is used, ensure it meets or
exceedthe provided hardware. It is recommended to fastenas
many mounting points as possible into a wall stud,structural or
sub-frame for a secure result.
4.
Install the mounting bracket
With the help of an extra person, lift the range hoodbody and
hang it onto the mounting bracket. Themounting bracket is
designed to assist in mountingthe range hood and can only
support the range hoodtemporarily while checking for proper
alignment.After the hood is aligned and level, mark themounting
hole locations inside the cavity of the rangehood. Predrill those
marks, then mount the rangehood to the wall carefully to not
drill into any wires,cables or pipes.
5.
Position range hood body
The upper chimney is designed to be screwed ontothe chimney
mounting bracket and the lowerchimney is to be hung onto the
mounting bracket.Temporarily place the lower chimney cover
onto thehood and place the mounting bracket into place
andmark its installation holes. Remove the lower chimney
cover. The upper chimney must be flush against the wall, if
there is any crown molding or fixtures in the way, these items
must be modified. Measure the offset of the mounting bracket
screw hole locations from the top edge of the chimney cover.
Using that measurement, align the chimney bracket against the
wall and mark the screw hole locations. Ensure the chimney
and mounting brackets are level and centered.
6.
Mark chimney mounting bracket
Temporarily fit the range hood mounting bracket onto its
moutning position on the range hood assembly;note its
orientation and how it mounts on to the rangehood body.
Measure the distance from the bottomedge of the range hood
moutning bracket. Use thatmeasurement to mark the location
of the range hoodmounting bracket on your installation surface.
2.
Determine mounting bracket offset height
Using your marked location of the bottom of therange hood,
measure upward the distance of themounting bracket offset,
found in the previous step.Mark in the center of the installation
surface, this willbe your center screw location. Using the
bracketcentered on the wall with a level, mark the location
ofthe other screws. Using a powerdrill, pre-drill thescrew hole
locations ensuring you do not drill intoany power cables, wires
or pipes.
