ABWPD Series
Backsplash must be installed before the hood shell because the hood shell covers the backsplash top mounting screws. In order to be able to install the backsplash, make sure there is at least 18’’ (457 mm) clearance between bottom of hood and range control panel or cooktop. (refer to instructions included with backsplash).
CAUTION
If this backsplash is installed in a saline environment (e.g. coast), rinse all surfaces once a week with clear water, (even if the hood is not used) and wipe dry completely.
4. INSTALL WOOD STRIP
Measure and mark a level line on wall above cooktop location for the wood mounting strip (see illustration on page 4).
Center the provided wood mounting strip over location. Secure strip to the wall studs or framing with provided
WOOD STRIP
(CENTERED HORIZONTALLY & SECURED
TO WALL STUDS OR FRAMING)
