PREPARING FOR HOOD INSTALLATION
Plan where the ductwork will be located. See pages 9-12 for rough-in dimensions. 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 (Indoor/Outdoor VWH Models 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.
