INSTALLING HOOD CANOPY
Center the canopy and attach to wall. Secure
the hood to wall with mounting screws
provided. Make sure that the mounting screws
are driven into the framing and not just the
drywall. Use additional mounting screws (and
wall anchors if necessary) in the other holes.
NOTE: BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE
HOOD - MAKE SURE THAT THE MOUNTING
SCREWS ARE DRIVEN INTO THE FRAMING
AND NOT JUST THE DRYWALL. IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO DRILL ADDITIONAL HOLES
IN THE CANOPY FOR PROPER ALIGNMENT.

PREPARING FOR HOOD INSTALLATION
Plan where the ductwork will be located. See pages 11-14 for rough-in dimensions. Install proper-sized duct work,
and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are using. Recommended hood locations for the most common
installations are shown on page 2.
Adjust your measurements for various heights of ceilings, soffits, cabinets, or ranges/rangetops.
