• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the hazard can
be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the
bottom front edge of the cabinets.
NOTE: Two sets of holes are provided under
anti-tip bracket. Bracket is attached in the
upper hole position at the factory.
