8. INSTALL HOOD MOUNTING BRACKET

When cutting or drilling into wall, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
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.
After wall surface is finished, carefully center and level the hood
mounting bracket over installation location. Secure it to wall framing using
3 no. 8 x 1½" screws.
Using a level, draw a vertical line up to the ceiling starting from the
mounting bracket center.
9. INSTALL UPPER FLUE MOUNTING BRACKET (DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY)
Center the upper flue mounting bracket with the center line previously
drawn in step 8 and place it flush with the ceiling.
Use the upper flue mounting bracket as a template to mark the position of
its screws.
Drill the 3 screw holes using a 3/16" drill bit.
Insert the included drywall anchors into the drilled holes (1 per hole).
Secure the upper flue bracket to the wall using 3 no. 8 x 3/4" screws.
Ensure that the bracket is tight against the wall.

10. INSTALL THE HOOD

BE CAREFUL when installing the decorative flue and hood, they may have sharp edges.
DO NOT REMOVE the protective plastic film covering the decorative flue (upper & lower) yet.
1. Align the hood and center it above the hood mounting bracket. Gently lower the
hood until it securely engages the bracket.
2. Level the hood.

holes on back of hood; see illustration at right).

drywall anchors into the drilled holes (one for each hole).
