Construct the spacer frame according to your individual 
install preference, while following the guidelines found in 
the INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS section. The front of 
the spacer (that is exposed to the rear of the vent hood); 
must include a solid wall to allow for the vent hood to be 
properly secured into it.

When designing the spacer; account for the thickness of 
your fi nishing substrate so that overall dimensions are fl ush 
with the vent hood.

Important:  Be sure to allow for the proper clearance 

above the spacer for the soffi t / duct cover that 
is to be installed at a later time.

1.  Locate and mark the REAR WALL studs.

2.  Determine the install location of the spacer (30-33" 

above the grill).

3.  Using appropriate mounting hardware for the spacer  

and rear wall construction; secure it into the rear wall.

Important:  THE SPACER MUST BE SECURED INTO 

MULTIPLE WALL STUDS, USING THE 
APPROPRIATE HARDWARE, TO ENSURE 
PROPER SUPPORT. METAL FRAMEWORK 
WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL WALL 
STUDS AND SCREWS FOR PROPER 
SUPPORT. CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL 
CONTRACTOR FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL 
SETUP.

4.  Install fi nishing substrate to left and right sides, and 

bottom of spacer as appropriate.

1.  Rest the vent hood on its rear panel.

2.  Apply a bead of silicone along the bottom of the 

mounting fl ange of the transition before installation 
(see Fig. 12-2, A).

3.  Position the transition in place and secure using a power 

drill with a

and fasten the screws from inside the vent hood. (An 
additional person should hold the transition in place 
while it is being fastened.) See Fig. 12-2, B-C.
