3. INSTALL BACKSPLASH (OPTIONAL)
ABWPD Series (for 36", 42" and 48" widths range hoods only)
Backsplash must be installed before the hood shell and wall extension (if needed) because the hood shell (and wall extension) covers the
backsplash top mounting screws (see instructions packed with backsplash).
4. INSTALL WOOD MOUNTING STRIP
Due to the weight of this hood, ensure that the wood strip is attached to all of the available wall studs and blocking;
not into the wall alone.
1. Proper structural support is required to accommodate the weight of the hood. Construct the wall framing using minimum 2" x 4" lumbers.
2. Mark the center location of the hood.
3. Measure and mark a level line on wall above cooktop
location for the wood mounting strip. Install 2" x 4" blockings
between wall studs where mounting strip will be installed.
Refer to illustration at right.
4. Remove wood mounting strip from back of hood.
5. Position the wood mounting strip on the wall and secure to
the wall studs and blockings using 4 no. 10 x 2" flat head
screws (included in parts bag).
