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 at right).
After wall surface is finished, using a level, draw a vertical line up to the
ceiling starting from the center of the planned hood location. Carefully center
and level the hood mounting bracket over installation location. Secure it to wall
using 3 no. 8 x 11/2" Phillips flat head screws.

2 no. 8 x 11/2" Phillips flat head screws. Make sure that the bracket is tight
against the wall.
