8. INSTALL HOOD MOUNTING BRACKET
Construct wood wall framing that is even with the surface of wall studs.
Wood wall framing must be at least 1/2” thick and 3” high. Fasten wood wall
framing to wall studs for a solid installation.
Make sure that the height of the framing will allow the mounting bracket
to be secured to the framing within the dimensions shown (see illustration
beside).
After wall surface is finished, carefully center and level the hood
mounting bracket over installation location. Secure it to wall framing using
3 no. 8 x 1½” screws.
Using a level, draw a vertical line up to the ceiling starting from the
mounting bracket center.
