Recommended Installation Instruction (when using BGS-3030 Backguard)
Install components in the following order:
a. Vent Hood b. Backguard System
1. Locate and level range according to Range installation instructions.
2. Measure distance from floor to top of island trim on range adding 1/8" for backguard clearance.
3. Transfer this measurement to the wall. This will mark the bottom of your backguard.
4. From this line measure 28-1/8" up wall to mark top of 30" backguard. This is the minimum height
that the bottom of your vent hood can be installed.
5. Follow vent hood manufacturer's installation instructions to install vent hood.
6. Follow backguard installation instructions to install backguard.
7. Connect gas and electric connections and slide range into position.

STEP 1: VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above the range / cooktop. The following chart indicates
the minimum blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.
VENTILATION
CAUTION:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting.
However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall
ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to
ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.
Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned
household air when maximum ventilation is not required.
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30" to a
maximum of 36" above the range cooking surface (See Fig. 3, page 5). If the hood contains any
combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36" above the cooking surface.
Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating
contractor should be consulted.
