K = Kitchen Height

C = Counter Height (36" standard)

P = Prefered Height of Hood Bottom above counter (recommended 24”-32”)

H = Hood height your installation

H = K – C – P

S = Chimney Structure Height, your installation.

S = H – 1“ 3/8

a)Select a hood preference height P that is comfortable for the user. (from 24” to 32“).

b)Calculate Hood height your installation H = K-C-P.

c)Confirm that H is within the range of min to max H found for your model (see “Dimensions and clearances” paragraph). If not adjust your installation.

d)Calculate Chimney structure height S. Save this calculation for use later in the installation.

Note: Take into consideration the hood depth; the hood could be much deeper than the cooktop.

a.Mark center lines of cooktop or range on ceiling above. Use centerlines marked on ceiling to position the mounting template.

Note location of hood front (that indicated with a printed arrow), side, and mounting holes indicated on template.

Note: Remember that printed arrow on template corresponds to front of the hood and consequently to side where control panels will be located at the end of installation)

b.Remove and save template. Cut and remove ceiling drywall. Install suitable length 2" x 4" lumber between joists to provide chimney mounting points as shown above. Use template for dimensions and required clearance.

Make sure to affix the added lumber firmly and level. Consult a professional if you have difficulties or your installation is unique. Consult template and Figs.above.
