Install Range Hood In-Line (External Type)
NOTE: Your range hood requires you to purchase either an
internal type or an in-line (external type) blower motor system.
See "Blower Motor System" in the "Accessories" section.
Prepare for Mounting the In-Line Blower System
A
The in-line blower system must be fastened to a secure structure
of the roof, ceiling, wall, floor, or new or existing frame
construction. The 4 holes on either the inlet (bottom) side or the
outlet (top) side of the blower must be used to mount the in-line
blower system to the structure.
NOTE: The mounting hole locations must span the studs.
Additional stud framing may be required. Plywood may be used
B
to span open areas between ceiling joists or roof rafters to aid
installation. This structure must be strong enough to support the
weight of the in-line blower system (50 lb [22.6 kg] min).

blower motor system.
