Positioning the Range Hood

Determine the center point of the
range hood. This is generally the
center of the range. Make a mark
on the wall a minimum of 25" above
the top of an electric range. If the
range is gas, the ideal minimum
should be 30".
Using a spirit level, draw a perfectly
vertical line, starting at the center
mark, right up to the ceiling or the
highest point to where the hood will
extend. This is the central axis for
the range hood. Draw a horizontal
line fractionally above where the
bottom of the range hood will be
positioned. This is the underside of
the range hood.
Marking the Fixing Holes for
the Range Hood
Find the marking template provided
called the "Assembly Scheme".
Place the template against the wall.
Align the horizontal line on the wall
with the horizontal line on the
template (indicated by two heavy
arrows). Now align the vertical line
on the wall with the "Central Axis"
line on the template.

Gently tape the template to the wall
making sure it has no creases or
folds (use a tape that will not
damage the wall finish). There are
three hole positions shown for the
wall bracket. Using a sharp object,
mark the wall through the template
at the center point of the three holes.
Lower down on the template, you
will see three sets of two holes.
Only two of these holes refer to your
model. Check which model you
have and, using a sharp object,
mark the two correct holes. These
holes are used to anchor the range
hood horizontally from inside the
hood once it has been hung from the
main bracket. Remove the template.
Fixing the Main Support
Bracket
(CAUTION: Do not drill through any
utilities inside the wall)
If the range hood will be fixed to
drywall we strongly recommend that
you discard the wall plugs and
screws supplied. These anchors are
only suitable for
applications. We suggest the use of
a more appropriate anchor system
specifically designed for drywall
applications. Wherever possible, it
is advisable to place
between the studs, behind the
drywall, to attach the support bracket
to, (refer to Figure 3).
Drill the appropriate size holes at the
marks made earlier and fix the
Support Bracket ("S") securely to
the wall. Ensure that any wall
anchors have been fitted into
brick/masonry
