INSTALL BACKSPLASH
OPTIONAL
If optional Model BSK6 series backsplash is used, attach it to the finished wall. Secure hood mounting brackets to the backsplash and omit wall framing described below.
INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
DUCTED CONFIGURATION ONLY
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1.Decide where the ductwork will run be- tween the hood and the outside.
2.A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3.Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible.
4.Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round metal ductwork to cap and work back to- wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKETS
1.Construct wood wall framing that is flush with interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a)the framing is centered over installa- tion location.
b)the height of the framing will allow the mounting brackets to be secured to the framing within the dimensions shown.
2.After wall surface is finished, secure mount- ing brackets to framing using dimensions shown.

Note: minimum hood distance above cook top must not be less than 24”. A maximum of 31” above cook top is highly recommended for best capture of cooking impurities. Distances over 31” are at the installer and users discretion; and if ceiling height and flue length permit.
