1.
Mark the holding bracket's horizontal centerline 2 1/8" (5.4 cm)
below the top of the hood (Image 1).
NOTE:
Minimum distance, bottom of cabinets to cooktop: 30" (76.2 cm).
2.
Measure and mark the centerline (Image 1) halfway between the cabinets. (If there are no cabinets above
the cooktop, measure and mark the cooktop centerline.)
3.
Referring to Image 1 and the above table, measure the "A" distance left and right from the centerline
between the cabinets (or the cooktop centerline), and mark the holding brackets' centerlines.
4.
Lay the bracket against the wall, and align the screw holes with the horizontal centerline. (Use anchors/
screws that can support the hood; be sure to properly reinforce the drywall.)
5.
Mark the two holes in the bracket.
6.
Drill those two holes for screws and anchors.
7.
Attach the brackets securely to the wall.
