3. INSTALL BACKSPLASH (OPTIONAL)

It is recommended to install the backsplash before the custom hood insert. The custom hood will cover the backsplash top mounting screws. In order to be able to install the backsplash, make sure you have at least 18’’ clearance between bottom of custom hood and range control panel or cooktop. (See instructions packed with backsplash.)

When building a custom hood, always follow all applicable construction codes and standards.

The custom hood frame must be sized to the shape and total weight of the insert assembly. Refer to the table below for total weight of the insert, according to the type of blower choosen.

Start with the custom hood base, because its position will determine the height of the insert. We recommend the base of the custom hood should be 3/4 inch thick plywood. If an optional custom hood liner will be installed, we recommend the sides and front of the custom hood to be 3/4 inch thick, assuming standard cabinet widths. If the optional custom hood liner will not be installed, the custom hood side and front thickness is at the installer’s discretion.

Run power cable to installation location. Stub out a 4 foot length of electrical cable below the custom hood.
