6. Find the center of the wall where you are installing the hood. Mark your center
line to the ceiling and measure out from the center to find your two mounting
points. The (2) mounting holes will be found on the back of the range hood
(the mounting holes will vary by model). Make sure your mounting points are
level when you mark them.
7. Mark your mounting points and install the drywall anchors (D) turning until
they are flush to the wall, do not overturn. Screw the (2) 1-3/16 drywall anchor
screw (E) into the drywall anchor (D) leaving the heads out ¼
˝ to moun
t the
hood. See Below.
8. Temporarily position the range hood in the desired mounting location on the
wall (this will require 2 people). See below.
9. Make sure the range hood is level. Finish screwing the (2) 1-3/16 drywall anchor
screw (E) from step 5. Do not over tighten.
10. From the center line drawn in step 5, center the mounting bracket (H) at the
top of the ceiling and insert (2) #10 X 3/4 (F) tapping screws into the horizontal
holes and attach to the wall. See below.
*To properly secure the range hood, identify a
stud(s) and drill though the back of the range
hood at stud location and secure with a wood
screw(s) (not included)

11. Assemble ventilation to outside ducting. Install (1) round flexible duct exhaust
hose (I) to round vent air flap (C) (attached to range hood on top of unit) and
secure with duct tape. Note: If you are choosing the ductless/recirculating
mode do not install the duct exhaust hose (I).
12. Power the hood by connecting the three-pronged plug to a nearby electrical
outlet.
13. For models
with one mounting bracket (H)
, place the two pieces of Ducting (J)
on top of the range hood, making sure the vent in the upper section is towards
the top and the upper section slides inside the lower section in a telescoping
fashion, note the grooves on the inside of the duct work to help guide and
secure. Lower the top duct into the bottom duct. See below. Go to step 14.
14. For model
s with two mounting brackets (H)
, remove the upper section from
the bottom section.
a) Remove screws from duct bracket (H). Insert mounting bracket inside of
the bottom duct and align the holes. Replace the screws entering the back
of the duct. This mounting bracket is for support of the ducts.
Mounting bracket goes inside the duct
