STEP 4 MOUNT TEMPLATE
• Align the template with the marks on the ceiling and
tape in place.
– Be sure the template is oriented correctly, with the
front of the hood.
• Use a plumb to check to be sure the mounting holes
will provide parallel alignment with the countertop
below.
• Center punch all hole locations.
• Drill pilot holes in the 4 screw locations. Use a 5/32”
bit and drill approximately 1-1/2” deep.
• Cut the 8-1/4" duct opening and approx. 1" wire

STEP 5 INSTALL SUPPORT FRAME
Install upper support frame
• Secure the upper support frame to the ceiling joists
and cross framing with the 4 lag screws provided. For
maximum rigidity and strength, the screws must be
driven into the center of the joists and/or cross
framing.
Check to be sure the support frame is level, vertically
and horizontally.
Install lower support frame
• Insert lower support frame (or accessory support
frame, ZX1059SFSS or ZX10510SFSS) into the upper
support frame and loosely secure with 8 screws and
washers. (4 on the front and 4 on the back sides)
• Adjust the lower support frame up or down to the
desired height above the countertop. Tighten screws.
IMPORTANT: Again, check to be sure the support is
level in both directions. There is no way to level the
hood after the hood is secured to the frame.
