INSTALLATION
4.Find studs behind the drywall by tapping the wall or using a stud finder. Locate one stud on either side of the cooktop centerline to use for mounting the wooden bracket as shown in Figure 4.
5.Align the top of the wood bracket along the horizontal line drawn in step 1. Align the centerlines of the bracket and cooktop.
6.Drill a 3” deep 1/8” hole through the wooden bracket, drywall and into the stud.
7.Use 2 to 4, 1/4” x 3” flat head wood screws to attach the bracket to the wall as shown in Figure 4. For support of longer hoods, use three or four studs as available. Countersink the heads to prevent interference with the hood.
8.On the wood bracket, mark the locations used to hang the hood according to Figure 5 and its Table.
