The method of fixing the mounting brackets will depend on the type of wall the hood is to be mounted on. Below is a quick guide to fixings.

Once Brackets are fixed to the wall the SUN HOOD can be placed so as to sit on top of the brackets for the purpose of marking the position of the holes to be drilled into the SUN HOOD to accommodate the brackets.
