4. INSTALL BACKSPLASH

(OPTIONAL) RMP 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 you have at least 18” (457 mm) clearance between bottom of hood and range control panel or cooktop. (Refer to instructions included with backsplash.)

5. INSTALL WOOD MOUNTING STRIP

Measure and mark a level line on wall above cooktop location for the wood mounting strip (see illustration below and under step 2). Use #10 - 2” flat head screws to secure the mounting strip to the drywall. Make sure to hit the wall studs. (See figure below.)

CAUTION

Due to the weight of this hood, ensure that the wood strip is attached to all of the available wall studs (2 studs minimum for the 30” hood, more as hood width increases); not into the drywall alone.
