2 INSTALL HOOD MOUNTING SCREWS
The mounting screws must enter the horizontal
support or wall studs.
• With the template taped in place, use a punch
to mark mounting bracket screw locations.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes in 4 of the punched locations
in the lower bracket. If the bottom 2 pilot holes do
not enter wood, enlarge the holes to 3/8" and install
metal wall fastener anchors (provided).
• Remove the template.
• Install the 2 top mounting screws; leave 1/4" gap
between the screw head and the wall. This will allow
the keyhole slot on the hood frame to engage the
screw head.
WALL VENT IS 27-3/4" MIN.

3 INSTALL DUCT BRACKET
AND DEFLECTOR
The duct bracket should be installed against the back
wall and flush with the ceiling; the point where the
ceiling meets the wall should be level for the bracket
and duct cover to fit flush. This bracket will hold
the duct cover in place at the top.
Secure the bracket to the wall:
• Align the diamond centerline cutout on the bracket
to the penciled centerline on the wall.
• Mark 2 screw hole locations in the wall.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes in the marked locations.
• If pilot holes do not enter wood studs, enlarge
the holes to 3/8" and install metal wall fastener
anchors (provided).
• If mounting directly to a masonry wall, obtain
appropriate #10 masonry screw anchors. Drill
and install per the fastener supplier's instructions.
• Drive screws, by hand, into the fasteners to allow
anchors to expand. Remove the screws.
• Secure the bracket to the wall with wood screws
and/or fasteners.
Centerline cutout
• Assemble the air deflector accessory to the duct
cover bracket with the 4 assembly screws provided.
