Backsplash must be installed before the hood shell because the hood shell covers
the backsplash top mounting screws. In order to be able to install the backsplash,
make sure you have at least 18” (457 mm) clearance between bottom of hood and
range control panel or cooktop. (Refer to instructions included with backsplash.)

(OPTIONAL)
RMP Series
Measure and mark a level line on wall above cooktop location for the wood mounting strip
(see illustration below and under step 2). Use #10 - 2” flat head screws to secure the
mounting strip to the drywall. Make sure to hit the wall studs. (See figure below.)
5. INSTALL WOOD MOUNTING STRIP
CAUTION
Due to the weight of this hood, ensure that the wood strip is attached to all of
the available wall studs (2 studs minimum for the 30” hood, more as hood
width increases); not into the drywall alone.
