3. INSTALL BACKSPLASH (OPTIONAL)
It is recommended to install the backsplash before the custom hood insert. The custom hood will cover 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 custom hood and range
control panel or cooktop. (See instructions packed with backsplash.)
5. SUGGESTED CUSTOM HOOD INTERNAL FRAMEWORK
The mounting holes for both top stud supports are located at 11
9
⁄16" up from the
insert base. The on center distance between both studs is 30¼" for the PIK33
insert model and 42¼" for the PIK45 insert model.
The mounting holes for the rear stud support are located at 1½" up from the insert
base. See illustration at right.
Once the custom hood base and frame are done, finalize the custom hood.

4. CUSTOM HOOD PREPARATION
WARNING
!
When building a custom hood, always follow all applicable construction codes and standards.
Start with the custom hood base, because its position will determine the height of the
insert. We recommend the base of the custom hood should be 3/4-inch thick plywood.
If an optional custom hood liner will be installed, we recommend the sides and front of
the custom hood to be 3/4-inch thick, assuming standard cabinet widths. If the optional
custom hood liner will not be installed, the custom hood side and front thickness is at
the installer’s discretion.
Run power cable to installation location. Stub out a 4-foot length of electrical cable
below the custom hood.
If the WCPI optional remote control will be installed, run electrical cable from the insert
to the remote control location. Stub out a 6-inch length from the remote control wall
location. Refer to the remote control installation instruction.
