   Caution: One of the brackets for main engine must be fastened to the beam. Screws must be fixed at Hole A and B in the drawing; also screws must be fixed at bracket bores with corresponding wooden stakes in Area C.

5. Attach the paper template onto the bottom of the cabinet to determine and drill the duct cover hole, screw holes, and wire hole.
   Caution: Wear safety goggles when drilling.
   In case of batten at the wall facing the bottom plate, the rear wall side of the paper template shall be cut as per the thickness of the batten.
   In the case that hooks are fixed on tiles, the installation paper on the side of Rear Wall shall be pasted on the bottom of the upper cupboards based on the tile surface.

6. Remove the protective film of the stainless steel surface and Grease Cup at both sides of the range hood.

7. Lift and position the hood onto the brackets at the bottom of the backside while keeping an angle between the wall and the hood, and then push the hood against the wall tightly.

8. Secure the hood to the upper cabinet with three MS X 70 fastened screws for upper cabinet. The hood will need to be supported before you lose your hands until at least two screws are tightened.
   If there is a big gap between the bottom board of the top cabinet and the top of the range hood, please add wood pads based on the gap size near the three M5x70 screws to avoid range hood shell deformation caused by the tightening of screws, which will affect the use of the range hood.
   Caution: Two installers are required to ensure safe installation.

9. Place the gasket seal on the hood outlet and fix the duct cover with four screws of outlet housing. Then, secure the duct to the duct cover and seal the connection with aluminum tape.
