•To protect against scratches, leave protective film on backsplash until after installation is complete.
•If range is already installed, refer to the manufacture’s instructions to disconnect gas and power supplies. Move range forward to gain access to rear of unit.
•Wall studs are usually installed with a 16” or 24” (406mm or 1372mm) space on center.
2.The height of the hood will determine the height of the top edge of the backsplash. The backsplash should be mounted so that the bottom rear edge of the hood overlaps the backsplash 11/2” (38mm).
3.Per each wall stud, use (2) of the provided screws to secure both the top and bottom of the backsplash (see Figure 16).
•Due to variable wall stud widths and varying backsplash widths, in some cases only one wall stud may be found at the mounting location.
4.Remove protective plastic.
