Planning Your Location - Prestige Pro Line Model Hoods Installation Instructions Manual

Select the proper height to mount the hood. Take into consideration the stature of the person or
persons who will be cooking. A height of 30" to 36" above the cooking surface will suit most users. If
mounted at a height greater than 36" above the cooking surface, the hood should be at least 6" wider
that the cooking appliance to provide proper capture of heat and grease. (Refer to the range manu-
facturer's guidelines) Once the proper height is established, draw a level line where the bottom of the
hood will rest. If practical, mount a board equal to the width of the hood along the line so you may
rest the hood on it while installing. Mark a center line on the wall equal to the entire height of the hood
to assist with the proper duct alignment and hood placement. Determine stud location and mark it
clearly. If only one stud can be located, toggle bolts or additional fastening must be installed to firmly
secure the hood to the wall.
Install a 115 volt 15 amp electrical lead in the hole marked on the rough-in diagram. (Fig A)
Example: Location for a 36" hood is 6" from the bottom, 9 1/2" from the centerline.
Verify that the ducting is in the correct location for your application.
