Install framing for hood support
•If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locations. Remove the template.
•Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studs at the holes location indicated by the template.
Install two horizontal supports at least 4" X 2" between two wall studs at the bottom and upper mounting holes installation location.
•The horizontal support must be flush with the room side of the studs.
Use cleats behind both sides of the support to secure to wall studs.
•Reinstall drywall and refinish.
IMPORTANT- Framing must be capable of supporting 100 lbs.
