Locate centre of stove and using level or plumb line, mark centre line up to ceiling.
3.
Measure height of hood and mark same distance down from ceiling with level line.
4.
Position mounting bracket on wall and fix with 4 screws.
5.
Locate solid fixing points on wall (This hood is heavy and requires good solid fixing points). If
necessary, fit some solid fixing timber to wall behind hood now.
6.
Mark fixing points on rear of hood and drill fixing holes to take solid screws. Ensure you place
fixing holes high up in the hood to stop it falling forward.
7.
Drill hole in rear or top of the hood to take electrical cable.
8.
Remove the Fan/Plasma assembly to make the Rangehood lighter and easier to handle during
install. Remove filters and apply film or tape to protect filter side panel as the fan/ Plasma
assembly is a tight fit through the Filter area. Remove screws from Fan/Plasma mounting plate,
disconnect Fan/Plasma electrical connectors and carefully remove Fan/Plasma assembly.
9.
If you do not have adjustable stands you can cut some temporary timber props to sit canopy on
when you lift into position, to hold it while you fit fixing screws.
10.
You need two people to lift this canopy into position. * Do not attempt this on your own, as you
could cause yourself injury and damage the hood or stove. CAUTION: Do not under any
circumstances lift from the front of the hood or put any pressure on the front face as you will
damage the hood permanently.
11.
Carefully lift hood into position and sit on stands to level hood, then screw hood into position
through fixing holes. Make sure you put fixing holes high up in the hood to stop it falling forward.
Fit all-thread to hood, fix to support/brace in ceiling, attach nuts to bottom of all-thread and
tighten to support front of Rangehood.

An electrician should make the electrical connection to the hood by connecting to the 10 AMP
junction box. Ensure power is turned off during this procedure.
