1. Before unpacking, review dimensions and clearances shown in Section 1.04.1 or 1.04.2 , and determine
whether the location selected is suitable.
2. Keep the unit and the surrounding area free and clear of combustible materials.
3. Do not obstruct the openings around the exhaust air diverter atop the hood. No minimum clearance (0”) is
required between air diverter and the ceiling, but it is advisable to provide some clearance (>3”) to make
moving the unit easier should the need arise.
4. Provide adequate space for future servicing and proper operation.
5. Hood is equipped with adjustable leveling legs. After final positioning, adjust the legs to level the unit, side
to side, front to back and corner to corner.
6. Before operating, make sure the unit is secured in position and will not move. The front legs of a FSH-2A-99
Hood have floor plates for securing the unit to the floor.
