INSTALL FRAMING FOR HOOD
SUPPORT
IMPORTANT
— Framing must be capable of
supporting 100 lbs.
If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locations for
the top mounting brackets. Remove the template.
• Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studs
at the bracket location indicated on the template.
• Install a horizontal support at least 1
″ x 6″
between two wall studs at the bottom mounting
bracket installation location. The horizontal support
must be flush with the room side of the studs.
Use cleats behind both sides of the support to
secure to wall studs.
• Reinstall drywall.

DUCTWORK, WIRING LOCATIONS
Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Locate the template packed with the literature.
– Measure 36″ from the floor to the top of the cooking
surface. Add hood installation height determined on
page 7. Mark that location.
– Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the wall.
– Tape the template in position along the penciled
line. CHECK TO BE SURE THE TEMPLATE IS LEVEL.
Ceiling ducting:
If ductwork will vent straight up to the ceiling:
• Use a level to draw a line straight up, from the
centerline on the template to the ceiling.
• Measure 5-1/2
″ from the back wall to the centerline
of an 8-1/2
″ hole on the ceiling.
NOTE: If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness
to the 5-1/2
″ dimension.
Wall Ducting:
If ductwork will vent to the rear:
• Use a level to draw a line straight up from the
centerline on the template.
• Measure at least 26
″ above the pencil line that
indicates the bottom installation height, to the
centerline of an 8-1/2
″ dia. duct hole. (Hole may
be elongated for duct elbow.)
HOUSE WIRING LOCATION:
• The junction box is located on the top left side
of the hood.
• Wiring should enter the back wall at least 22
″ above
the bottom of the hood, and within 6
″ of the left side
of the centerline.
