INSTALL HOOD SUPPORT
IMPORTANT : Framing must be capable of supporting
100 lbs.
• Locate at least 2 vertical studs at the wood mounting
location by tapping drywall with a hammer or use a stud
finder.
• Center the supplied wood horizontal support, left to right,
and below the marked line.
• Drill 1/8” pilot holes through the support, drywall and into
the studs. Secure the support to 2 or more vertical studs
with supplied wood screws.
IMPORTANT : Screws must penetrate at least 1-1/2” into
vertical studs. Countersink screws into support.
• Install mounting screws in the center of the wood suppor,
13-1/6” from the centerline. The screws should protrude
forward 1/4”. This 1/4” gap will provide clearance to hang
the hood.

INSTALL HOOD ONTO WALL
• Lift the hood and place over the wood support. The top
keyhole slots in the hood should engage the protruding
mounting screws. Allow the hood to slide down into
position.
• Pull house wiring through knockout at the rear or top of
the hood.
• Check to be sure the hood is level and centered. The arrow
shaped cutout in the back of the hood allows viewing the
marked centerline.
• Remove cover from junction box.
Drill Bottom Mounting Hole Locations
• Drill 1/8” pilot holes into the two lower mounting holes.
Enlarge the holes if they do not enter studs to 3/8”. Tap
anchors for wall fasteners into bottom holes. Install
screws by hand into the fasteners to allow anchors to
expand against the wall. Remove screws.
• Using two large flat washers (supplied), install wood screws or
wall fastener screws, loosely, into lower mounting holes. Do
not tighten.
• Check hood level. Tighten upper screws. Tighten lower
mounting screws..
• For additional security, drive screws through the original
wood support screw holes in the back of the hood.
