1. Begin by determining hood mounting height on wall.
2. Level and mount the wood panel onto the wall at the appropriate height and secure it to the
studs. This wood panel should be 1/2" x 3" and the width will either be 29", 35" or 47"
depending on the width of the hood. Measure the distance between the wall mounting brackets
and fasten them onto the wood panel. Refer to the diagram for how the brackets attach to the
panel. Make sure they will line up with the tabs on the back of the hood. Lift the hood and hang
it onto the brackets.
3. Temporarily remove the baffle filters from hood, and level hood by adjusting the metal brackets
located inside of the hood. (Note: there is approximately 1/2” total adjustability up and down).
These brackets are adjusted by a screw that can be easily turned with your fingers. There is one
on each side on the inside back wall of the hood. After ensuring that the hood is level, complete
ly tighten the screws to secure the hood to the wall.
4. Optional: After the hood is attached to the mounting brackets, you may further secure it by
screwing two screws into the wall from the inside of the hood. You will need to drill through the
back wall of the hood to do so.
