PART 2 Securing the Liner
TILE BACKSPLASHES
IMPORTANT:
Liners installed immediately above the top edge of tile backsplashes thicker than
3
/
4
” should be
installed slightly forward—not flush with the back wall. The back filter bracket of the liner is 1” deep and tile
installations thicker than this will prevent the filters from being removable.
MOUNTING HOLES
NOTE: DRILLING THROUGH STAINLESS STEEL REQUIRES A TITANIUM BIT. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL
THROUGH FILTER BRACKETS, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR UL LABEL.
Because the Trade-Wind
®
Standard Series Liner was designed for various wood hood applications, no mounting
holes have been pre-drilled. This allows the liner to be attached in most any area of the canopy that has a wood
frame support, e.g., the back, sides or top. We recommend at least six equally spaced screws per liner—three
screws along the back (top or back side panel) and three screws on the front top, immediately next to the light bar
wall or behind the removable light bar. Where possible, the screw holes should be drilled into the top of the liner
(instead of the sides or back). This will help prevent distorting the liner walls in situations where the wood frame is
not properly sized to the liner.
Models with internal motors should also have at least one screw centered and
securely in place on each end (side panel) of the liner because of the added weight.
Neatly measure and mark (left to right and top to bottom) and drill screw holes through the liner as required to
match the wood backing. It is easier to drill holes from the outside in, by setting the liner on its face (on cardboard)
and drilling from the back side. Secure the liner by driving screws (by others) tightly into the wood frame. Use
washers where necessary. When removing the filters, be careful not to scratch the liner by placing the filters,
screws, drill bits or drill on the liner’s face.
