Carefully check the location where the hood is to be
•
installed. The hood should be placed for convenient
access. Make certain that electrical power can be
provided in the selected location.
Install the range hood and cooking appliance(s) so that
•
they can be removed if service is required.
Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions
•
are met or exceeded (see page 3). Dimensions shown
provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted.
Preparing the Mounting Bracket Location
The mounting bracket must be attached directly to the
•
studs in the ceiling, or to a reinforced mounting block
secured to the studs. See below for mounting bracket
hole dimensions.
Attach the mounting bracket directly above the center
•
of the cooktop.
Attach the mounting bracket to the mounting surfaces
•
with #12 screws (not supplied). The screws must be of
sufficient length to penetrate into the wood mounting
surfaces at least 1 1/2” (3.8 cm).
The mounting surface must be level.
•
Allow clearance in the center of the mounting bracket
•
for the exhaust duct to pass through the ceiling
(8-inches in diameter).
