• 

If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in 
range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to 
rear wall. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over 
countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage 
and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. 
Cover that surface with a protective covering and place 
all canopy hood parts and hardware in it. 

 
•   Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the 

canopy hood will be installed. 

 
•   Select a mounting height comfortable for the user and 

mark on wall. 

 
•   Tape template, matching center-line and hood bottom. 

The duct bracket should be installed against the back wall 
and flush with the ceiling. 
This bracket will hold the telescopic duct cover in place at 
the top. 
 

Secure the bracket to the wall: 

•  Align the marked centerline on the bracket with the 

centerline on the wall. 

• 

Mark 2 screw hole locations in the wall. 

• 

Drill 5/16" pilot holes in the marked locations. 

• 

Install wall fastener anchors. 

•  Drive wood screws, by hand, into the fastener to allow 

anchors to expand. Remove the screws. 

•  Secure the bracket to the wall with wood screws and/or 

fasteners. 

 

House wiring location 
•   The junction box is located on the top left side of the

the bottom of the installation height, and within 7-5/8" 
and 4-7/8"of the left side of the centerline. 

Install framing for hood support 
 
• 

If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locations. 
Remove the template. 

• 

Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studs at 
the holes location indicated by the template. 

 

Install two horizontal supports at least 4" X 2" between 
two wall studs at the bottom and upper mounting holes 
installation 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.
