centerline on the wall where the canopy hood will be installed.

3. Attach the lower bracket securely

to the wall at the height shown. The dimension shown on page 3 is for mounting the canopy hood 24” (61 cm) above cooking surface. The lower bracket must be mounted with the Preparation flanges on the bottom of the bracket so that the canopy hood will hang from them. If a backsplash is to be used with this canopy hood, it MUST be installed before the canopy hood. Installation instructions for the backsplash are supplied with the backsplash kit. The height of the backsplash will determine the height of the bottom edge of the canopy hood.

4. Attach the middle and upper

brackets securely to the wall. The upper bracket should be installed about 1/8” (3 mm) away from the ceiling. The middle bracket (bright metal) must be installed with ends touching the wall and the curves facing outward. Note: If the canopy hood is installed more than 24" (61 cm), the middle bracket must be installed at the bottom point of the upper chimney sleeve. It may be necessary to cut the upper chimney. Be careful not to damage or bend upper chimney when cutting.

5. Determine and make all

necessary cuts in the wall for the vent system. Install the vent system before the canopy hood. See venting methods on page 4.

6. Determine the required height

for the power supply cable and cut a 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) hole at this location. Run wire through hole according the National Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be enough power supply cable from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the connection in the hood’s electrical box. Use caulking to seal all openings. Do Not turn on power until installation is completed.
