•Drive mounting screws into the studs until they protrude 1/4". The 1/4" gap will provide clearance to engage the keyhole slots in the top of the hood.
•Lift hood to installation position. Locate house wiring and route through the knockout (from the back or top of the hood).
•Lift hood onto mounting screws. Slide back against the rear wall.
•Tighten mounting screws.
IMPORTANT: For additional support and to minimize vibration during operation, the hood must be secured to the back wall. Use wall anchors to fasten bottom back of hood to the wall.
