ABWPD Series (for 36'', 42'' and 48'' widths range hoods only)
Backsplash must be installed before the hood shell and wall extension (if needed) because the hood
shell (and wall extension) covers the backsplash top mounting screws (see instructions packed with
backsplash).

Due to the weight of this hood, ensure that the wood strip is attached to all of the
available studs and blocking; not into the wall alone.
1. Proper structural support is required to accommodate the weight of the hood. Construct the wall
framing using minimum 2" x 4" lumber.
2. Mark the center location of the hood.
3. Measure and mark a level line on wall above cooktop location for the wood mounting strip (see
illustration on page 4). Install 2" x 4" blockings between wall studs where mounting strip will be
installed. Refer to illustration below.
4. Remove wood mounting strip from back of hood.
5. Position the wood mounting strip on the wall and secure to the wall studs and blockings using
4 no. 10 x 2'' flat head screws (included in parts bag).
