3
and ideally not higher than 32”above
the cook-top. It is strongly
recommended, at this point, that
calculations and measurements be
made and all planning and heights
be finalized. You will need to fit the
appropriate length of ducting to the
hood fan before installing it to the
ceiling.
Planning should consist of a test
assembly of the power unit and tele-
scoping structure before attempting
to mount everything to the ceiling.
By following this test assembly you
will be able to finalize the correct
length of the assembly before
mounting it to the ceiling.
Test assembly should include
actually attaching the following items
together – refer schematic of
components and
“Fixing the main
support brackets”
below – Brack-
ets A, B, C, power unit and deflector
if re-circulating.
This is also a good time to test the
electrical functioning of the hood
before it is installed. Before
switching on the light or lights,
ensure the tape holding the globes
in place has been removed. The
globes gets extremely hot and will
very quickly burn the tape and
discolor the globes irreparably.
Do not switch on the lights with the
hood flat on any surface as the in-
tense heat will burn the surface and
destroy the lamps. Connect a power
supply to the unit and test all func-
tions.
Installation of the island hood
consists of fixing the ceiling Bracket
A
substantial
members in the
ceiling. The bracket must be fixed to
the frame by screwing through the
ceiling into the heavy members
inside the ceiling.
This is critically
important as the entire hood fan
hangs from this position, and
ceiling
board
alone
will
not
support the weight of the hood
fan.
Discard the plastic wall plugs
supplied for fixing the bracket to the
ceiling – these are not appropriate
for North American structures.
Fixing the Main Support
Brackets
If the range hood will be fixed to
drywall we strongly recommend that
you discard the wall plugs and
screws supplied. These anchors are
only suitable for brick/masonry
applications. We suggest the use of
a more appropriate anchor system
specifically designed for drywall
Using Bracket “A” as a template
mark the ceiling where the fixing
screws “A” will be positioned –
remember the correct orientation
from above.
Attach bracket “A” to
the c ei lin g perm anentl y. If
re-circulating, attach the deflector to
Bracket “A” before fixing it to the
ceiling – refer schematic on page 5.
The 2 brackets for the support of the
chimney (Part A) is to be installed to
Bracket A with the screws (C
