1. A method of mounting a ventilation hood to an underside of a cabinet including a bottom panel and a lower support frame positioned above a cooking appliance comprising: securing first and second brackets below, and not directly attached to, the cabinet at spaced positions substantially aligned with outermost edge portions of the lower support frame;supporting a rear portion of the ventilation hood by the first and second brackets;tilting a front portion of the ventilation hood upward toward the lower support frame; andfastening the front portion of the ventilation hood through at least one fastener assembly to the underside of the cabinet. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: fixedly securing the first and second brackets to a wall, against which the cabinet is mounted, at positions directly below, but not attached to, the cabinet and aligned with the outermost edge portions of the lower support frame. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising: fixedly securing the first and second brackets directly to the wall with threaded fasteners. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood includes securing flexible tabs of the ventilation hood to the underside of the cabinet. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising securing the flexible tabs of the ventilation hood to the underside of the cabinet by angling mechanical fasteners through enlarged openings formed in the ventilation hood. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising: at least partially forming the enlarged openings by bending the flexible tabs from an outer housing of the ventilation hood. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood includes securing feet members to the ventilation hood and securing mechanical fasteners through the bottom panel of the cabinet and into the feet members. 8. A method of mounting a ventilation hood to an underside of a cabinet including a bottom panel and a lower support frame positioned above a cooking appliance comprising: securing first and second brackets below the cabinet at spaced positions substantially aligned with outermost edge portions of the lower support frame;supporting a rear portion of the ventilation hood by the first and second brackets;tilting a front portion of the ventilation hood upward toward the lower support frame;fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood through at least one fastener assembly to the underside of the cabinet, wherein fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood includes securing feet members to the ventilation hood and securing mechanical fasteners through the bottom panel of the cabinet and into the feet members; anddrilling holes through the feet members and the bottom panel of the cabinet to receive the mechanical fasteners. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the feet members are threadably secured to the ventilation hood. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the feet members are threadably adjusted from beneath the ventilation hood. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood includes securing mounting blocks, from which first and second connectors extend, in frontal corner portions of the lower support frame. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second connectors are snap-connected to the ventilation hood upon tilting of the front portion of the ventilation hood upward toward the lower support frame. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood includes positioning first and second fasteners, interconnected by a plate, through both the bottom panel and the ventilation hood. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood comprises: fixedly securing zip strips to the cabinet; extending the zip strips through the ventilation hood; and subsequently securing the zip strips to the ventilation hood. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising: cutting off an excess portion of each of the zip strips. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood through the at least one fastener assembly to the underside of the cabinet comprises: inserting bolts through both the bottom panel of the cabinet and the ventilation hood. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein fastening the front portion of the ventilation hood further includes inserting pins through transverse holes in the bolts. 18. A method of mounting a ventilation hood to an underside of a cabinet positioned above a cooking appliance comprising: mounting first and second brackets against a wall underneath the cabinet at spaced positions substantially aligned with outermost edge portions of a lower support frame of the cabinet, each of said first and second brackets including a projection;engaging and supporting a rear portion of the ventilation hood on the projection of each of the first and second brackets;positioning a front portion of the ventilation hood against the cabinet; andattaching the front portion of the ventilation hood to the cabinet with at least one fastener assembly. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising: fixedly securing the first and second brackets to the wall, against which the cabinet is mounted, at positions directly below, but not attached to, the cabinet and aligned with the outermost edge portions of the lower support frame. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising: fixedly securing the first and second brackets directly to the wall with threaded fasteners.
