INSTALLATION
Installation must be done
in strict accordance
with the designed airflow, exhaust
fan placement, filters and construction details required by this manual. Lifting the
unit in place must be accomplished by using an equipment lift (rated above the unit
weight) or by hoisting using the proper hoisting straps (see below).
PREPARATION
1. Installation site should be clear to safely lift unit into proper position. Be sure
hoisting equipment and/or lifts are adequate to the weight load of the unit according
to manufacturer’s estimated weight.
2. Position unit to allow at least 34” of clearance on the access side of unit to open
door, replace filters and perform maintenance.
3. Unit should be located as close to the space it serves as practical to avoid lengthy
and complex duct runs. This will reduce total fire hazard exposure and amount of
duct to be cleaned.
4. When the unit is ground or floor mounted, make sure it sits at least 6” (minimum)
off the ground for interior location and 18” (minimum) above ground for exterior loca
-
tions including roof mounted.
5. The exhaust fan must be located between the air purification unit and the dis
-
charge duct. DO NOT locate the fan between the hood and the air purification unit
as this would cause the KAP to be under positive pressure.
6. It is recommended that the unit’s grease drains are connected to the building
grease interceptor or an approved building drain system.
