NOTE
: If installing the hood in the recirculating configura-
tion (recirculating kit # AVPH1), consult the instructions
that come with the kit before starting installation.
Installing the Chimney Mounting
Bracket
1. Determine the vertical center line for the range hood.
The center line for the hood is usually the same as
the center line of the range or cooktop.
2. Using a pencil, mark the vertical center line on the
wall from where the bottom of hood will be located to
where the top of the chimney will be located.
3. Draw a horizontal line 9 inches long at 90° to the
vertical center line where the bottom of the hood will
be located. The minimum allowable distance is 30”
above the cooktop.
4. Locate the chimney mounting bracket and position it
against the ceiling as shown. Center it on the vertical
center line drawn on the wall.
5. Mark the ceiling in two places through the holes in
the top of the bracket. Remove the bracket from the
ceiling.
6. Drill 5/16” holes through the two spots marked on the
ceiling.
7. Insert the two of the provided wall anchors into the
holes on the ceiling.
8. Place the chimney mounting bracket against the ceil-
ing and attach it using two included 1 1/2” screws.
Installing the Blower Mounting
Bracket
1. Find the mounting bracket template in the shipping
box. Put the template against the wall and line up the
horizontal line drawn on the wall with the horizontal
line on the template.
2. Line up the vertical line drawn on the wall with the
center line on the template. Iron out all creases and
folds and tape the template to the wall using tape that
will not damage the wall finish.
3. Using a sharp object, mark the wall through the
template at the center of the three blower mounting
bracket hole positions (near the top) and the position
of the two “L” brackets, near the bottom.
4. Remove the template.
5. Drill the mounting holes.
If mounting the hood to drywall:
• Drill five appropriate sized holes for the mount-
ing hardware being used (mounting hardware for
attachment to drywall or plaster not provided).
The drywall mounting hardware must be pur-
chased separately.
