secure in the ceiling or wall.
•
Put a thick, protective covering over counter top, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt.
• Remove any hazardous objects around the area when installing.

If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn OFF the power on an electric range at the main
electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.

For consumer safety reasons, mounting
screws and anchors have not been supplied

cabinetry construction methods require
specific types of screws and wall anchors.

regarding the best type of mounting screws
and wall anchors to suit your home’s
construction.
