Installation
Make a cutting line 13" (330 mm) below the the top edge marking.
Find the studs to the left and right of the appliance location by tapping the wall or using a stud finder.
Mark a vertical cutting line along the center of each stud.
Be careful not to damage any wiring or plumbing that may be located behind the wall. Make sure that the power supply to the area where this installation is being performed has been turned off at the breaker panel before cutting into the wall.
Remove the drywall between the cutting lines and replace it with plywood of a matching thickness (min. 2" (51 mm) thick).
Screw the plywood firmly to the wall studs.
Tape the joints and refinish the wall.
Wall attachment
Cut the wall attachment drilling template and place it on the wall.
The top edge of the trimmed template marks the top edge of the unit. To maintain a safe height above the cooktop, it must not be lower than
S + 17 3/4" (S + 450 mm) (see "Appliance Dimensions").
Mark and drill the four locations for the mounting plate ( 3 mm).
Fix the mounting plate to the wall using the 5.2 x 50 mm screws provided.
Another drilling template is provided for connecting the range hood to adjoining cabinets or for fitting side panels.
Using the template, drill two mounting holes in the side cabinet or side panel ( 2 mm).
