KitchenAid 30" Wall-Mount Canopy Hood Installation Guide

■

It is recommended that the vent system be installed before 
hood is installed.

■

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance 
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

■

Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum 
before you select your hood.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non-

vented.

3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place 

covering over that surface.

4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface. 

Tip the hood on its back and remove filters and set aside.

NOTE: Use 2 hands to remove the filters, one to pull and turn 
the knob, the other to hold the filter so that it doesn’t fall.

■

Pull knob forward (toward the front of the hood) while 
turning the knob counterclockwise to release the locking 
lever.

■

Slide the filter down and away from the front retaining 
channel.

1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the 

range hood will be installed.

Based on the ceiling or soffit height, determine the distance 
“X” (24" [61.0 cm] min, suggested 30" [76.2 cm] max) needed 
between the cooking surface and the bottom of the range 
hood. To this distance, add 15

¹⁄₈" (43.8 cm) and draw a 

horizontal line (A) about 24" (61.0 cm) long centered on the 
vertical centerline (B) at this distance. 

2. Mark 2 points on each side of the horizontal line 

4

⁹⁄₁₆" (11.6 cm) from the vertical centerline.

3. Drill pilot holes.

■

If installing into wood, drill 2 - 

¹⁄₈" (3.2 mm) pilot holes.

■

If installing into plaster or drywall, drill 2 - 

¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) 

pilot holes and insert drywall anchors flush with the wall.

4. Install the 2 - #10 Phillips head mounting screws. Leave a 

¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw 
head to slide range hood into place.

1. Place one of the chimney brackets against the wall so that its 

top edge is 

¹⁄₁₆" (2.0 mm) from the ceiling or soffit and level.

Align the center notches of the bracket and the centerline. 
Mark the centers of the bracket holes.
