Installation

1. If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or
slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide
easier access to rear wall. Otherwise put a thick,
protective covering over countertop, cooktop or
range to protect from damage or dirt. Select a flat
surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface
with a protective covering and place all canopy hood
parts and hardware in it.

and mark on wall behind cooktop.

bottom as shown in Figure below.
