5. Hardware is not provided with this unit to secure it to the wall. Local building codes take precedence (where
applicable). Otherwise, use #12 screws or larger lag screws with a length such that at least 1” of thread is embedded
into a structural member (i.e., wood stud or blocking) behind the mounting surface. Be sure to consider the
thickness of wallboard (drywall, tile, etc.) when determining appropriate length of fastener. A minimum of 2 screws
in the upper portion of the hood, and 2 screws in the lower portion of the hood should be used to ensure the hood is
attached securely to the wall.
a. Additional screws should be used for wider hoods:
• 36” wide hoods and smaller:
2 screws upper portion, 2 screws lower portion.
• Greater than 36”, up to 54”:
3 screws upper portion, 3 screws lower portion.
• Greater than 54” wide:
4 screws upper portion, 4 screws lower portion.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The bottom of the hood should be 30” minimum to 36”
maximum above the countertop for efficient operation. The
hood should be centered over the cooking surface.
2. Measure and mark carefully and locate framing behind the
wallboard using a stud finder. Add structural blocking
where necessary to ensure hood is attached to the wall
securely.
3. In the back of some model’s hood shell, there are only a
few small oblong slots provided for screws to pass through.
If necessary, it is acceptable to drill new holes in the sheet
metal back of the hood shell to align with framing behind
wallboard.
4. Depending on fastener selected, pre-drilling may be
necessary to avoid splitting the framing or blocking.
