PREPARING FOR HOOD INSTALLATION
Plan where the ductwork will be located. Install proper-sized duct work, and roof or wall cap for the type of
blower you are using. Recommended hood locations for the most common installations are shown on page 2.
Adjust your measurements for various heights of ceilings, soffits, cabinets, or ranges/rangetops.
INSTALLING HOOD CANOPY (For Wall Hoods Only)
Center the wood strip (provided locally – see drawing for dimensions) and attach to wall. Using the slot located
on the backside of the canopy, place the hood onto the wood strip. Secure the hood to strip with mounting
screws provided. Make sure that the wood strip mounting screws are driven into the framing and not just the
drywall. Use additional mounting screws (and wall anchors if necessary) in the other holes.
NOTE:
BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT
OF THE HOOD- MAKE
SURE THAT THE WOOD
STRIP MOUNTING
SCREWS ARE DRIVEN
INTO THE FRAMING AND
NOT JUST THE DRYWALL.
IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO
DRILL ADDITIONAL HOLES
IN THE CANOPY FOR
PROPER ALIGNMENT.
