Upon receiving the equipment, check for both obvious and hidden damage. If damage is found, record all
necessary information on the bill of lading and file a claim with the final carrier. Check to be sure that all parts of
the shipment, including accessories, are accounted for.
STORAGE
If a kitchen hood must be stored prior to installation it must be protected from dirt and moisture. Indoor storage
is recommended. For outdoor storage, cover the hood with a tarp to keep it clean, dry, and protected from UV
(Ultra Violet) Radiation damage.
Improper storage which results in damage to the unit will void the warranty.
Hood weight is determined using a simple formula. Select the figures provided in columns A and B (see tables)
from the three respective categories—Hood Width, Filter Type and Hood Height—based on the hood received.
Total the three numbers in column A and the three numbers in column B. Place the sum for column A and the
sum for column B in the Hood Weight equation where shown and solve for the total Hood Weight.
