3. INSTALL BACKSPLASH
ABWPD Series
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 there is at least 18'' (457 mm) clearance between
bottom of hood and range control panel or cooktop (refer to instructions included with backsplash).
If this backsplash is installed in a saline environment (e.g. coast), rinse all surfaces once a week
with clear water, (even if the hood is not used) and wipe dry completely.
4. INSTALL WOOD STRIP
Due to the weight of this hood, ensure that the wood strip is attached to all of the available wall
studs and/or blocking; not into the wall alone
1. Proper structural support is required to
accommodate the weight of the hood.
Construct a wall framing using minimum
2" x 4" lumbers.
2. Mark the center location of the hood.
3. Measure and mark a level line on wall
above cooktop location for the wood
mounting strip. Install 2" x 4" blockings
between wall studs where mounting strip
will be installed. Refer to illustration at right.
4. Remove wood mounting strip from back of
hood.
5. Position the wood mounting strip on the
wall and secure to the wall studs and/or
blockings using 4 no. 10 x 2" flat head
screws (included in parts bag).
