I’m fitting this extractor hood
https://luxairhoods.com/image/catalog/PDF/Cooker Hoods/Built-In/Telescopic Plus/LA-TEL-SS-Plus Installation Guide.pdf
From what I can understand from the installation guide, it needs support from the side (drilling holes on the side of the cabinet) and from the back, by screwing two screws on the back wall to which the hood will hook on
The installation manual assumes you have a unit with no back and bottom panel
The wall unit (DIY kitchens 1000mm wide) has a back panel (8mm thick) and a service void and it’s closed on the bottom
In order to fit the extractor from below, I need to cut the base of the unit and there is not enough internal depth to leave both the lower part of the back panel and the front edge of the base
If I leave the back panel untouched, I cannot hook the hood to the back wall.
Batten glued to the back panel from the service void to reinforce it and screw into that?
