9INSTALL FRAMING FORHOOD SUPPORTIMPORTANT — The vent hood must besecured to rear support framing or a wall stud.Framing must be capable of supporting 100 lbs.If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locationsfor the top mounting brackets. Remove the template.• Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studsat the bracket location indicated on the template.• Install a horizontal support at least 1″ x 12″between two wall studs at the mounting screwlocation. The horizontal support must be flush withthe room side of the studs. Use cleats behind bothsides of the support to secure to wall studs.IMPORTANT: Reinstall drywall for an even mountingsurface.1Installation InstructionsView fromrear cleats1″ x 12″ min.mountingsupportDUCTWORK, WIRING LOCATIONSDetermine the exact location of the vent hood.• Locate the template packed with the literature.– Measure 36″ from the floor to the top of thecooking surface. Add hood installation heightdetermined on page 8. Mark that location.– Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the wall.– Tape the template in position along the penciledline. CHECK TO BE SURE THE TEMPLATE IS LEVEL.Ceiling ducting:If ductwork will vent straight up to the ceiling:• Use a level to draw a line straight up, fromthe centerline on the template to the ceiling.• Measure 3-3/4″ from the back wall to the centerlineof an 6-1/2″ hole on the ceiling.NOTE: If drywall is not present, add drywall thicknessto the 3-3/4″ dimension.Wall Ducting:If ductwork will vent to the rear:• Use a level to draw a line straight up from thecenterline on the template.• Measure at least 6″ above the bracket location shownon the template to the centerline of a 6-1/2″-dia. ducthole. (Hole may be elongated for duct elbow.)HOUSE WIRING LOCATION:• The junction box is located on the top left sideof the hood.• Wiring can enter from the back wall or ceiling abovethe top bracket location. Route additional wiringlength to reach the junction box.INSTALLATION – VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE6-1/2″ min. opening for ductwork• Drill 1/8" Pilot Holes For Mounting Brackets.Align edge 25-1/2" above Cooking Surface.17-5/16"3-15/16" 13-9/16" 2-5/32"CL• Drill 1/8" Pilot Holes.• Drill 1/8" Pilot Holes.5-7/8"FOR WALLVENT DUCTCenterline 6″ min. abovebracket locationFOR CEILING VENT DUCTING3-3/4″ c enterline to wallCenterline ofinstallationspaceNOTE: 2 horizontal supportswill be needed if there is astud located between thehorizontal screw locations.
