Step 1
Turn the filtered hood off and disconnect the power plug. Remove the front panel (see
Section 8: Front Panel Removal ) of the filtered hood and place nearby but out of the
way of the filtered hood. This will expose the filtration column technology you will be
working with.
Step 2
Identify the filtered hood you have and order the correct quantity for replacing.
Determine your model number which is a M1 (3 FT), M2 (4 FT), M3 (5 FT), M4 (6 FT),
or M5 (8 FT). These numbers are based on how many stacks of technology that you
have on top of your filtered hood from left to right and the filtered hood width.

Look at your filtered hood and count the stacks of technology from left to right

You will have 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 stacks for 3 FT, 4 FT, 5 FT, 6 FT, and 8 FT filtered
hoods.

Match that number to M1, M2, M3, M4, or M5.

This information will help you follow this procedure when it applies to your model
M1, M2, M3, M4, M5.
