Hood width
• The hood width should be no less than the width of
the cooking surface. For proper performance, the
housing must cover the entire cooking surface.
• For proper performance, the hood must be centered
horizontally above the cooking surface. Where space
is not restricted, a wider hood can be used to increase
capture area.
Distance from cooking surface
• Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop
or range can vary.
• The installation height ranges from a minimum height
of 30'' (762 mm) to a suggested maximum height of
40'' (1,016 mm). However, it is necessary to follow the
cooking appliance manufacturer's installation
instructions for proper hood height.

NOTICE:
Installer must account for weight of any materials of
construction when calculating the total dead weight
load of installation, including but not limited to: wall,
tile, mortar, plaster, brick, finishes, partitions, and other
similarly incorporated architectural and structural items.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
Support structure
• Due to the weight of the hood, make sure the wood
mounting bracket is attached to all available wall
studs.
• Framing must be fastened together and to ceiling
joists to provide enough structural strength to support
the weight of the hood and internal blower, if
applicable.
• Wall framing should be, at minimum, made of 2"x 4"
lumber. Proper structural support is required to
accommodate the weight of the hood.
Venting
• The chimney hood requires the ducting to be vented
to the exterior of the building.
