'Adequate structure and support must be
provided in all types of installations. The hood
must be secure to vertical studs in the wall, or to
a horizontal support.
The vent hood should be on site before nal

accurately locate the duct work and electrical
service.
Installation will be easier if the vent hood is
installed before the cook-top and countertop are
installed.
