2.02 Unpacking
•
Hood is very heavy and bulky! Use suitable equipment and/or sufficient manpower to lift and remove it from
the shipping skid. See
Section 1.04.3, Weights .
•
Exercise due care when removing and disposing of packaging materials.
•
When moving and handling the hood, take special care to not damage the bottom skirting. Dragging unit along
the floor or lifting using the bottom edge can potentially damage the hood skirt.
•
Failure to comply with CAUTION notices may result in moderate to minor injury, equipment or property
damage, and could void the warranty.
NOTE:
Items needed for stand and hood assembly (fasteners & high ‐ temp silicone) are provided. All other expenses
for material, labor, equipment rentals, etc. are the responsibilty of the purchaser ... not included with hood
purchase.
2.03 Stand & Hood Assembly
IMPORTANT NOTE!!
If there is evidence of damage to the palletized unit, or any of the accompanying items, immediately and
thoroughly inspect the unit and all components. Notify the freight company of all damages. Generally, it is the
purchaser’s responsibility to file and negotiate freight damage claims with freight carriers.
Unit is shipped on a wooden pallet, secured by high ­ tensile plastic strapping and wrapped in machine ­ applied
stretch film. In most cases a wooden framework is built around the unit for added protection. Unpack as follows:
1. Position pallet in an area that provides adequate space for unpacking.
2. Remove the stretch film, strapping and other packaging materials as necessary.
3. Carefully remove the hood stand (sides, back panels, trim pieces & appliance channels) from the pallet using
suitable equipment, sufficient manpower and safe work practices. Stage all components for assembly.
4. Typically, two (2) stainless baffle filters will be packed on top of the hood. Secure and place them aside for
safekeeping.
5. Carefully remove any wooden crating or framework that might be attached.
6. Locate and secure the envelope containing Warranty Card, documentation and other items needed for
installation.
7. It is preferable to leave the hood on the pallet so that handling equipment can be used to move it to the desired
permanent location after the floor stand is assembled and in place.
IMPORTANT! The hood stand is the only installation method now approved by Giles ... the former “ceiling
suspended” installation method is no longer an acceptable option. Attempting to install the hood in such a way
can void the factory warranty.
Assemble stand with provided hardware as shown by the following instruction. Use the provided silicone, as
shown, to seal gap between panels. Position the stand as close as possible to the final intended operating position,
before beginning
step #3 .
