2. Measure and mark a level line on wall above cooktop
location for the wood mounting strip (see illustrations
to the right and under step 2 on page 7). Use

mounting strip to the drywall. Make sure to hit the wall studs.

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 drywall alone.
OPTION
A Pro Style backsplash is available (see page 5 for more
details). This 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.)
