Wall Mount Installation
The hood installation height is the user’s prefer- ence. Figure 2 shows a typical installation of the hood with a duct cover. Accessory 6” and/or 12” duct covers are used to fill the space between the hood and ceiling.
The installation height shown in Figure 2 is 36". One 6" duct cover has been used in this installation. Add or subtract duct covers as appropriate to accommodate ceiling height and desired hood height. The duct cover structure is supported by the hood.
1. | After the hood installation height has been |
| determined, draw a horizontal line at a distance |
| above the cooktop equal to the desired hood |
| installation height plus |
| mounting location of the wooden bracket |
| shipped with the hood. |
2. | Find the centerline of the cooktop. Draw a |
| vertical line along this centerline up to the |
| horizontal line drawn in step 1. |
3. | The hood is mounted to the wall using a wooden |
| bracket shipped with the hood. Remove the |
| bracket from the hood by removing two shipping |
| screws. Mark the center line of the bracket. |

Wooden Bracket
4. | Locate one stud on either side of the cooktop |
| centerline to use for mounting the wooden |
| bracket as shown in Figure 3. |
5. | Align the top of the wood bracket along the |
| horizontal line drawn in Step 1. Align the |
| centerlines of the bracket and cooktop. |
6. | Drill a 3” deep 1/8" tap hole through the wooden |
| bracket, drywall, and into the stud. |
7. | Use 2 or 3 (#14 x 3”) screws to attach the |
| bracket to the wall as shown in Figure 3. For |
| support of longer hoods, use three studs. |
| Countersink the heads to prevent interference |
| with the hood. |
8. | On the wood bracket mark the locations used to |
| hang the hood according to Figure 4 (next page). |
9. | Drill a 1/8" tap hole through the wooden bracket |
| and drywall. These (#8 x 5/8") screws do not |
| need to go into the studs. |
