bottom of template with hood bottom line and with the
centerline marked on the wall.
8.
Mark centers of the fastener locations through the template
to the wall.
IMPORTANT:
All screws must be installed into wood. If there
is no wood to screw into, additional wall framing supports
may be required.
Remove the template.
