Using a Phillips #2 or a Robertson #2 screwdriver, unscrew the hood
from the bottom of crate. Refer to figure beside to locate all 4 screws.
Discard these screws and remove hood from wood pallet.
Backsplash must be installed before the hood shell because the hood shell covers the backsplash top mounting screws. In order to be
able to install the backsplash, make sure you have at least 18” (457 mm) clearance between bottom of hood and range control panel or
cooktop. (Refer to instructions included with backsplash.)
4. INSTALL BACKSPLASH
(OPTIONAL) RMP Series
Measure and mark a level line on wall above cooktop location for the wood
mounting strip (see illustration below and under step 2). Use #10 - 2” flat
head screws to secure the mounting strip to the drywall. Make sure to
hit the wall studs. (See figure beside.)
5. INSTALL WOOD MOUNTING STRIP
CAUTION
Due to the weight of this hood, ensure that the wood strip is
attached to all of the available wall studs (2 studs minimum for
the 30” hood, more as hood width increases); not into the drywall
alone.
