PREPARE THE WALL
1.Disconnect and move freestanding range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to upper cabinet and rear wall. Put a thick, protective covering over cooktop,
2.Determine and clearly mark with a pencil the center line on the wall where the rangehood will be installed.
3.The canopy attaches to the wall by two mounting brackets (Item 1 in FIGURE 5). The canopy of the rangehood hangs on the two brackets which must be mounted with the flanges on the top of the bracket and pointing away from the wall.
Before installing the brackets, the adjustment screws must be installed into the bottom of the bracket. These two screws are provided in the hardware package and have hexagon heads with a slot for a flat blade screwdriver. The dimensions illustrate mounting the canopy 24" above the cooking surface.
If a Backsplash is to be used with this rangehood, it must be installed before the rangehood. Installation instructions for the Backsplash are supplied in its box. The height of the Backsplash will determine the bottom edge of the canopy.

4.The chimney mounts by two brackets (Item 2 in FIGURE 5). Note the position of the brackets. The top bracket should be installed about 1/8" away from the ceiling. The bottom bracket must be installed at the bottom point of the upper chimney sleeve.
Determine the proper location for each bracket and install the brackets on the wall. MAKE SURE THAT THE BRACKETS
ARE SECURELY FASTENED TO THE WALL.
5.Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the ductwork. Install the ductwork before the rangehood.
