1)
Make sure there is at least a 10"
opening in the ceiling to accommo-
date the duct work necessary for
proper ventilation.
2)
Layout the overall dimensions of
the hood top plate on the finished
ceiling or unfinished surface. The top
plate width is 13", but overall length
will vary with the size of the hood.
Refer to the overall dimensions illus-
tration on page 3.
3)
Use 2 x 4’s to construct the fram-
ing. The weight of the hood makes
proper structural support necessary.
4)
Mark the center location of the
hood. Install (2) 2 x 4’s across the top
of the ceiling joists.
5)
Drill 5/32" holes in 2 x 4’s to
match the pattern of the top of the
hood.
6)
Make sure hood filters and hood
filter bank are removed prior to
installation of hood. See page 6 for
direction.
7)
Lift the hood and align hood
mounting holes with pre-drilled ceil
ing holes. Slide ⁄" lag screws through
hood mounting holes and tighten
into 2x4 framing. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN SCREWS.
8)
Connect the 10" round ductwork
to the hood transition using sheet
metal screws or duct tape.
9)
Make electrical connections. See
Install Wiring on page 8.
10)
Adjust hood to proper location
and tighten all 4 lag screws until
hood surface is flush with ceiling.
Install #10 x 2" screws through
remaining hood mounting holes
along top edge of hood surface for
additional support.
11)
If installing internal blower DO
NOT REINSTALL hood filters and
hood center filter bank until blower
installation is complete. See Internal
blower installation on page 8.
