METHOD
When necessary, the hood may be installed so that it is
supported by the soffit.
• The soffit should be constructed with 2 x 4’s.
• Determine the installation location on the wall.
• Continue the centerline forward on the bottom of
the cabinet or soffit.
• The opening above the hood should allow for the 10"
round duct and clearance to slide the hood back
against the wall.

and Hood Installation
A
• The 2 x 4 studs must be located as shown in the chart,
Dim. A. to accept mounting screws.
IMPORTANT: Soffit framing must be capable
of supporting up to 150 lbs.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes into the studs at the locations
shown in the top view illustration.
Install Transition Onto Top of Hood
• Place the transition piece over the hood exhaust and
secure with 4 screws provided.
• Use duct tape to seal the connection. Check to be sure
the damper moves freely.
Mount Hood onto Soffit or Cabinet
Note:
If mounting to the underside of a cabinet with a
recessed bottom, install shims to fill the gap.
IMPORTANT:

• Drive mounting screws into the studs until they
protrude 1/4". The 1/4" gap will provide clearance to
engage the keyhole slots in the top of the hood.
• Lift hood to installation position. Locate house wiring
and route through the knockout (from the back or
top of the hood).
• Lift hood onto mounting screws. Slide back against
the rear wall.
• Tighten mounting screws.
IMPORTANT: For additional support and to mini-
mize vibration during operation, the hood must be
secured to the back wall. Use wall anchors to fasten
bottom back of hood to the wall.
