CAUTION: If two studs are not located on the line drawn (Figure 5). DO NOT attempt to install the hood.

NOTE: If the shelf hood is to be installed above a Freestanding Range, disconnect the power from the range and move the range out of the opening in the cabinets. This will allow for more access to the installation area.

If installing the shelf hood above aBuilt-in Cooktop orSet-in Range, lay a protective cover over the cooktop during the installation. This may help prevent damage to the cooktop (in case you drop something) and it will prevent dust and dirt from accumulating on the cooktop during installation.
