Install Backsplash; Install The Hood - Broan best K41 Manual De Usuario

INSTALL BACKSPLASH

If optional backsplash are used, attach it to the
finished wall. Secure hood mounting brackets
to the backsplash and omit wall framing
described below.
INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between
the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use as
few of them as possible.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round
metal ductwork (8" for K42) to cap and work
back towards hood location. Use duct tape
to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKETS
1. Construct wood wall framing that is flush
with interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a) the framing is centered over installation
location.
b) the height of the framing will allow the
mounting brackets to be secured to the
framing within the dimensions shown.
2. After wall surface is finished, secure
mounting brackets to framing using
dimensions shown.

INSTALL THE HOOD

3. Hang the hood from the brackets through
the rectangular cut-outs on the back of the
hood. Cut-outs are larger than the brackets
to allow for horizontal adjustment.
The bottom of the hood should be 24" to 30"
above the cooking surface.
4. Height adjustment screws provide vertical
adjustment.
5. Depth adjustment screws provide
horizontal adjustment.
6. Secure the hood with additional mounting
screws. Use drywall anchors, provided, if
wall studs or framing are not available.
