Installing range hood to the wall (Exhaust operation)
IMPORTANT
This range hood is very heavy. Adequate structure and support must be provided in all types of installations.
Install framing for hood support
•If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locations.
•Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studs at the holes location indicated by the template. Install two horizontal supports at least 1” x 6” between two wall studs at the bottom and top mounting holes installation location (fig. 
).
•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.
Step 1:
•Make sure that no cables or pipes will become damaged (e.g. electric, gas, water; test the areas in question with a cable detector).
•Using supplied template (17), mark and drill 8 holes in the wall. Drill the holes according to the measured distances from the diagram (fig. 
).
•Upper/Lower bracket (4, 5): Insert 4 wall plugs
(11) into the 4 drilled holes.
•Range hood (1): Installation is depending on wall type:
Wall type | Required fasteners |
|
|
Wood | No wall plugs (11) |
| required |
