Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed. Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent. Check that all the installation parts and the box with filters have been removed from the shipping carton. 1.If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all hood parts and hardware in it. 2.Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the hood will be installed. If the vent system is already installed, use centerline of vent opening. 3.If venting horizontally out the back of hood and vent system is not installed, mark and cut vent opening now. 4.Important: If used, Backsplash Kit must be installed before installing the hood. If a backsplash is not used, go to Step 5. Backsplash installation: (The hardware package supplied with the kit includes 4 plastic wall anchors and mounting screws.) •The height of the backsplash will determine the height 29-7/8" (75.9 cm) Extends from 19-23/32" (50.1 cm) to 39" (99.1 cm) top of backsplash corner mounting hole (4) 35-7/8" (91.1 cm) 41-7/8" (106.4 cm) 47-7/8" (121.6 cm) 3/8" (9.5 mm) 1" (25.4 mm) of the hood. Note: The minimum height of the hood above the cooktop, as shown on Page 3, is 30" (76.2 cm). The backsplash can be extended from 19-23/32" (50.1 cm) to 39" (99.1 cm). Note: As the 30" (76.2 cm) installation height increases, the hood's capture area decreases. • Determine the height of the hood. • Position the hood on the wall so that the top of the backsplash is at the height of the bottom edge of hood. Mark the location of the four corner holes. It is recommended that the backsplash be attached to the wall at all four corners. However, the lower flange can be secured between the wall and backsplash, countertop or cabinet base without using the bottom corner screws. • Drill 5/16" (8 mm) holes. • Push the plastic wall anchors all the way into the holes. • Position the holes in the backsplash over the wall anchors and attach using the screws supplied.
