1 INSTALL FRAMING FOR HOOD
SUPPORT
IMPORTANT
³
Framing must be capable of
supporting 100 lbs.
If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locations for
the top mounting brackets. Remove the template.
Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studs
at the bracket location indicated on the template.
Install a horizontal support at least 1” x 6” between
two wall studs at the top bracket installation
location. The horizontal support must be flush with
the room side of the studs. Use cleats behind both
sides of the support to secure to wall studs.
Reinstall drywall.

DUCTWORK, WIRING LOCATIONS
Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
Locate the template packed with the literature.
– Measure 36” from the floor to the top of the cooking
surface. Add hood installation height determined on
page 7. Mark that location.
– Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the wall.
– Tape the template in position along the penciled line.
CHECK TO BE SURE THE TEMPLATE IS LEVEL.
Ceiling ducting:
If ductwork will vent straight up to the ceiling:
Use a level to draw a line straight up, from the
centerline on the template to the ceiling.
Measure 3-3/4” from the back wall to the centerline of
a 6-1/2” hole on the ceiling.
NOTE: If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness to
the 3-3/4” dimension.
Wall Ducting:
If ductwork will vent to the rear:
Use a level to draw a line straight up from the
centerline on the template.
Measure at least 3-3/4” above the top mounting
bracket holes shown on the template to the centerline
of a
6-1/2” dia. duct hole. (Hole may be elongated for duct
elbow.)
HOUSE WIRING LOCATION:
The junction box is located on the top right side of the
hood.
Wiring should enter the back wall 20” to 26” above
the bottom of the hood, and within 4” of the right side
of the centerline. Wiring should enter at least 4” above
the bracket on the right side.
