Installation Instructions INSTALLATION-VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE DUCTWORK, WIRING LOCATIONS Determine the exact location of the vent hood. • Locate the template packed with the literature. - Measure 36" from the floor to the top of the cooking surface. Add hood installation height determined on pages 8 and 13. Mark that location. - Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the wall. - Tape the template in position along the penciled line. CHECK TO BE SURE THE TEMPLATE IS LEVEL. 5" centerline to wall Ceiling House Wiring Location 5" CL WALL VENT IS 27-3/4" MIN.

NOTE: If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness to the 5" dimension. Wall Ducting: If ductwork will vent to the rear: • Use a level to draw a line straight up from the centerline on the template. • Measure at least 27-3/4" above the pencil line that indicates the bottom installation height, to the centerline of an 8-1/2" dia. duct hole. (Hole may be elongated for duct elbow.) HOUSE WIRING LOCATION: • The junction box is located on the top left side of the hood. • Wiring should enter the back wall at least 18" above the bottom of the hood and within 5" of the left side of the centerline. 1 INSTALL FRAMING FOR HOOD SUPPORT IMPORTANT - Framing must be capable of supporting 100 lbs. 8-1/2" min. opening for ductwork View from rear cleats 1" x 12" min. mounting support Centerline of installation space If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locations for the top mounting brackets. Remove the template. • Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studs at the bracket location indicated on the template. • Install a horizontal support at least 1" x 12" between two wall studs at the mounting screw location. The horizontal support must be flush with the room side of the studs. Use cleats behind both sides of the support to secure to wall studs. NOTE: 2 horizontal supports will be needed if there is a stud located between the horizontal screw locations (see figure). IMPORTANT: Reinstall drywall for an even mounting surface. 14
