Installation - Mounting the Range Hood
MOUNTING HEIGHTS
The range hood must be installed at a minimum
height of 24 inches (61cm) from the cooking
surface. If a connecting duct work composed
of two parts is used, the upper part must be
placed outside the lower part. Do not connect
the range hood duct to the same duct used to
exhaust hot air or fumes from another appliance.
Before proceeding with the assembly instructions
remove the decorative mesh filters so that the
range hood is easier to handle.
MOUNTING TO THE WALL
1. Place the paper template included with your
hood on the wall to determine where to add
the screws for mounting the hood. Make sure
the bottom of the template aligns with the
bottom of where the hood will be located.
See Fig. 9
2. Lift the hood onto the screws and
adjust to make sure the hood is
level.
3. When the hood has been adjusted
tighten the screws to secure the
hood in place.
NOTE: Screws must be fastened into
wooden studs so wood blocking may
be necessary. If using wall anchors
make sure to check your local codes
for suitability and type of anchors
to use.
NOTE1: For the various installations use screws and screw anchors suited to the
type of wall (minimum screw size: 1/4" diameter x 2-3/4" length).
