3. INSTALL BACKSPLASH (OPTIONAL)

It is recommended to install the backsplash before the custom hood insert. The custom hood will cover the
backsplash top mounting screws. In order to be able to install the backsplash, make sure you have at least
18'' clearance between bottom of custom hood and range control panel or cooktop. (See instructions
packed with backsplash.)

4. CUSTOM HOOD PREPARATION

When building a custom hood, always follow all applicable construction codes and standards.
The custom hood frame must be sized to the shape and total weight of the insert assembly. Refer to the
table below for total weight of the insert, according to the type of blower choosen.

Start with the custom hood base, because its position will
determine the height of the insert. We recommend the base
of the custom hood should be 3/4 inch thick plywood. If an
optional custom hood liner will be installed, we recommend
the sides and front of the custom hood to be 3/4 inch thick,
assuming standard cabinet widths. If the optional custom
hood liner will not be installed, the custom hood side and
front thickness is at the installer's discretion.
Run power cable to installation location. Stub out a 4 foot
length of electrical cable below the custom hood.
If the RMIPWC optional remote control will be installed, run
electrical cable from the insert to the remote control location.
Stub out a 6 inch length from the remote control wall location.
Refer to the remote control installation instruction.
5. SUGGESTED CUSTOM HOOD FRAME
The mounting holes for the 2 top stud supports are
located at 11 9/16" up from the insert base. The on
center distance between the 2 studs is 30 1/4" for the
RMIP33 insert model and 42 1/4" for the RMIP45 insert
model.
The mounting holes for the rear stud support are located
at 1 1/2" up from the insert base. See illustration beside.
Once the custom hood base and frame are done, finalize
the custom hood.
