Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
range hood will be installed.
2. Based on the ceiling or soffit height, determine the distance
"X" (30" [76.2 cm] min., suggested 36" [91.4 cm] max.)
needed between the cooking surface and the bottom of the
range hood. To this distance, add 19" (48.3 cm) and draw a
horizontal line (A) about 24" (61.0 cm) long centered on the
vertical centerline (B) at this distance.

3. Following the illustrations in Step 4, mark points on each side
of the horizontal line as measured from the vertical centerline.
4. Drill 3/32"(2.4 mm) pilot holes for installation into wood. The
screws provided for mounting this range hood must be
fastened into solid wood. Do not fasten only into sheet rock.

head to slide range hood into place.

3. Drill pilot holes.
• If installing into wood, drill 4 - 3/32"(2.4 mm) pilot holes.
4. Attach each bracket to the wall with a #10 Phillips head
mounting screw. Tighten screws securely.
Complete Preparation
1. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the vent
system. Install the vent system before installing the range
hood. See the "Venting Requirements" section.
2. Determine the location where the power supply cable will be
run through the wall. Be sure that the location will be covered
by the chimney of the range hood.
3. Drill a 11/4"(3.2 cm) hole at this location.
4. Pull enough power supply cable through the wall to allow for
easy connection to the terminal box.
5. If roof or wall cap does not have a damper, attach damper to
exhaust openings on top of the range hood using 2 Phillips
head screws.
6. If the 48" (121.9 cm) range hood is to be connected to the
10" (25.4 cm) round vent system, install the vent transition
piece now.
