4. INSTALL BACKSPLASH
Backsplash must be installed before the hood shell because the hood shell covers the
backsplash top mounting screws. In order to be able to install the backsplash, make sure you
have at least 18'' clearance between bottom of hood and range control panel or cooktop.
(See instructions packed with backsplash.)
5. INSTALL WOOD MOUNTING STRIP
Measure and mark a level line on wall above cooktop location for the wood mounting strip
(see illustration under step 2 for dimensions). Center wood mounting strip (provided) over
location. Use no. 10 - 2'' flat head screws to secure the mounting strip to the drywall. Make sure
to hit the wall studs.
CAUTION
Due to the weight of
this hood, ensure
that the wood strip
is attached to all of
the available studs
(2 studs minimum
for a 30'' hood, more
as
hood
width
increases); not into
the drywall alone.
6. INSTALL THE HOOD
Rest the back cavity of the hood on the wood mounting strip.
Hold the hood until it is completely secured to the wood mounting strip.
Secure the hood to
wood mounting strip with
(4) screws no.8 x 3/4" (for
30" and 36" width hoods)
or (6) screws (for 42"
width and wider hoods)
provided at locations
shown. Drill (2) 3/16'' size
holes into the drywall for
wall anchors through
the existing holes in the
inside hood back in
the locations shown.
Then, install the two wall anchors and attach the hood with the remaining no. 8 x 3/4" screws
and the (2) washers provided.
