WALL HOOD INSTALLATION
First draw these markings on the installation area wall
• Center line of installation area.
• Location of wall studs nearest to the center line. (One on each side)
• Horizontally level line 28-36" above the cook top surface. (Location
of the bottom of the range hood.)
STEP 1
Find location for mounting the range hood
• Trace & the outline of your hood on a panel of its cardboard box.
• Find the mounting holes and center point of the hood (directly
between the mounting holes) and mark them on the cardboard panel.
•Carefully cut out the cardboard outline.
• Tape the cardboard cutout panel to the wall lining it up with the
horizontal line (bottom of hood location) and matching the center point
with the center line of the installation area.
• Poke holes through the mounting points on the cardboard marking
the locations on the wall and remove the cardboard.
• Predrill the mounting holes where your marks are with the correct
size bit* and insert the wall anchors.
• Screw in mounting screws, leaving roughly a 1/4" gap. This gap will
be used to hang the hood in STEP 3.
* The size of drill bit will depend on the size of hole that the wall anchor calls for.
