The majority of the weight of the

installed ventilation system will be

supported by retaining plate A. It

must be firmly attached to the stud

framing behind the drywall. If studs

are not available in the required

locations, a plywood backing (min.

" (13 mm) thick) spanning at least

two studs must be installed. Failure

to adequately support the weight as

stated may result in the ventilation

system falling off the wall, causing

personal injury and property

damage.

(If plywood backing is not needed,

proceed to "Attaching the retaining

plates to the wall." )

^ Make a mark,

above the cooktop and on the

centerline.

^ Make a second mark 12

(324 mm) underneath the first one.

+ 16

" (425 mm)

^ Hold retaining plate A against the

wall so that the marks are visible

through the holes of the plate (see

"Installation / Retaining plate A").

Draw a line around the plate's

perimeter, then set aside the plate.

^ Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above

and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of

plate "A".

^ Find the studs to the left and right of

the mounting location by tapping the

wall or using a stud finder.

^ Mark a vertical cutting line along the

center of each stud.

Be careful not to damage any wiring

or plumbing that may be located

behind the wall. Make sure that the

power supply to the area where this

installation is being performed has

been turned off at the breaker panel

before cutting into the wall.

^ Remove the drywall between the

cutting lines and replace it with

plywood of a matching thickness

(min.

" (13 mm) thick). Tape the

joints and refinish the wall.

^ Proceed to "Attaching the Retaining

plates to the wall" to complete the

installation.
