Installation Instructions
STEP 2A INSTALL HOOD ONTO WALL
• Secure the wood support to 2 or more vertical studs,
using at least 2 of the 4 supplied long screws.
IMPORTANT:
Screws must penetrate at least 1-1/2"
into vertical studs. Countersink screws into support.
• Adjust depth of original mounting screws in the
wood support until they protrude 1/4" forward. This
1/4" gap will provide clearance to hang the hood.
IMPORTANT: Framing must be capable of
supporting up to 150 lbs.
Test Duct Cover Fit
• Place duct cover(s) over the top of the hood to check
for gaps. Adjust the hood up or down if necessary.
Install Bottom Mounting Screws
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes into the two lower mounting
holes. Enlarge the holes if they did not enter studs to
3/8". Insert anchors for wall fasteners into bottom
holes. Remove anchor screws and add flat washers
provided. Drive screws into anchors and tighten.
• Install 4 additional screws through the back of the
hood and into the wood support.
IMPORTANT:
Remove
shipping tape from
damper and check that
damper moves freely.
