1. 1. 1. 1. 1. a) Select a hood preference height P (see Figure 2) that is comfortable for
the user. (30” - 36” recommended, 24” - 36” allowed).
b) Calculate Hood height your installation H (see Figure 2). H = K-C-P.
c) Confirm that H is within the range of min to max H found for your hood.
If not adjust your installation.
d) Calculate Chimney structure height S (use formulas in Figure 2, and
check dimensions of your hood). Save this calculation for use later in the
installation.

Note: Take into consideration the hood depth; your hood could be much
deeper than the cooktop.
2. 2. 2. 2. 2. Mark center lines of cooktop or range on ceiling above. Use centerlines
marked on ceiling to position the mounting template. Note location of
hood front, side, and mounting holes indicated on template.
3. 3. 3. 3. 3. Remove and save template. Cut and remove ceiling drywall. Install
suitable length 2" x 4" lumber between joists to provide chimney mounting
points as shown in Fig. C and D. Use template for dimensions and required
clearance.
Make sure to affix the added lumber firmly and level. Consult a profes-
sional if you have difficulties or your installation is unique. Consult
template and Figures 3. 4. 5.
