INSTALLING THE HOOD BRACKET MOUNT
Hood Body
1. Put a protective covering over the surface
below the location of the hood to protect from
dirt and/or damage.
2. Determine and mark the centerline (C) on the
wall (draw line up to the ceiling) where the range
hood will be installed. Based on the ceiling height,
determine the distance between 24" required
min, 36" recommended max (X) needed between
the cooking surface (B) and the bottom of the
hood. Draw a horizontal line at X. Align the install
template so that the bottom of the template is
centered and is level with the horizontal line drawn
at height X.

3. Find the stud locations and mark them on the
template.
4. Place the hood mounting bracket (G) on its outline
on the template. Mark at least one wood screw (L)
location that is on a stud. If another stud cannot be
found, mark at least two other screw locations for
mounting anchors, one on each side of the wood
screw (L). Remove the bracket from the wall and
install the mounting anchors (H). Place the hood
mounting bracket (G) back on the wall and mount it
with the wood screws (L) and mounting screws (D)
as needed. It is recommended to create a pilot hole
in the studs for wood screws (L).

Duct Covers and Power Supply
1. Place the duct cover bracket (E) on the wall so that
its edge is against the ceiling and level, making
sure the slots are in direct contact with the wall.
Align the center notches of the bracket and the
centerline. Mark the location of the screw holes
furthest apart from the center line if possible. If one
of the screw holes aligns with a stud, then a wood
screw will be used for that location. For the other
hole or if there are no studs, install 2 mounting
anchors (H). Place the duct cover bracket (E)
on the wall and install with wood screws (L) and
mounting screws (D) as needed.
2. The house electrical wiring must fall in the gray
shaded area shown below. From the lower left
corner of the shaded area, a minimum of 20" of
house electrical wiring is recommended to reach
the electrical junction box on the hood.
