WALL-MOUNTED INSTALLATION—VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE

DUCTWORK, WIRING LOCATIONS

Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

•Locate the template packed with the literature.

–Measure 36” from the floor to the top of the cooking surface. Add hood installation height determined on page 7. Mark that location.

–Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the wall.

–Tape the template in position along the penciled line. CHECK TO BE SURE THE TEMPLATE IS LEVEL.

Ceiling ducting:

If ductwork will vent straight up to the ceiling:

•Use a level to draw a line straight up, from the centerline on the template to the ceiling.

•Measure 3-3/4” from the back wall to the centerline of a 6-1/2” hole on the ceiling.

NOTE: If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness to the 3-3/4” dimension.

Wall Ducting:

If ductwork will vent to the rear:

•Use a level to draw a line straight up from the centerline on the template.

•Measure at least 3-3/4” above the top mounting bracket holes shown on the template to the centerline of a 6-1/2” dia. duct hole. (Hole may be elongated for

duct elbow.)

HOUSE WIRING LOCATION:

•The junction box is located on the top right side of the hood.

•Wiring should enter the back wall 20” to 26” above the bottom of the hood, and within 4” of the right side of the centerline. Wiring should enter at least 4” above the bracket on the right side.

If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locations for the top mounting brackets. Remove the template.

•Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studs at the bracket location indicated on the template.

•Install a horizontal support at least 1” x 6” between two wall studs at the top bracket 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.
