HEIGHT OF INDOOR HOOD The bottom of the hood should be 30" (76.2 cm) min. to 36" (91.4 cm) max. above the countertop. This would typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66" (167.6 cm) to 72" (182.9 cm) above the floor. The bottom of the hood should never be more than 72" (182.9 cm) above the floor or more than 36" (91.4 cm) above the countertop. These dimensions provide for safe and efficient operation of the hood. WALL INSTALLATION ISLAND INSTALLATION 18" (45.7 cm) 24" or 27" (61.0 cm or 68.6 cm) 30" (76.2 cm) Min. 36" (91.4 cm) Max. 66" - 72" (167.6 cm 182.9 cm) 36" (91.4 cm) Countertop 18" (45.7 cm) 30" (76.2 cm) Min. 36" (91.4 cm) Max. 30" (76.2 cm) 66" - 72" (167.6 cm 182.9 cm) 36" (91.4 cm) Countertop HEIGHT OF OUTDOOR HOOD The bottom of the hood should be 30" (76.2 cm) to 36" (91.4 cm) above the grill surface. The hood should be installed 41/2" (11.4 cm) plus the distance between the back trim and surface from the back wall. (NOTE: There is a 3" minimum clearance from the back trim to noncombustible surfaces and a 24" minimum to combustible surfaces.) This will require building the hood out from the wall. Any combustible material used for this purpose must be covered with locally supplied stainless steel. It is also recommended a backsplash be used with outdoor installations. 18" (45.7 cm) Canopy 27" (68.6 cm) 30" (76.2 cm) min. 36" (91.4 cm) max.

INSTALLING HOOD CANOPY (Indoor/Outdoor VWH Models Only) Center the wood strip (provided locally - see drawing for dimensions) and attach to wall. Using the slot located on the backside of the canopy, place the hood onto the wood strip. Secure the hood to strip with mounting screws provided. Make sure that the wood strip mounting screws are driven into the framing and not just the drywall. Use additional mounting screws (and wall anchors if necessary) in the other holes. 113/16" (4.6 cm) NOTE: BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE HOOD - MAKE SURE THAT THE WOOD STRIP MOUNTING SCREWS ARE DRIVEN INTO THE FRAMING AND NOT JUST THE DRYWALL. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO DRILL ADDITIONAL HOLES IN THE CANOPY FOR PROPER ALIGNMENT.
