STEP 1 -
SOFFIT FRAMING
a) Locate and mark the center line of the hood location.
b) Use 2 pieces of 2" x 6" x 6 feet wood spacers and
bolt these pieces onto the ceiling joist as shown in
Fig. 2.
If the ceiling joists are spaced more than 16" apart
center to center, it is necessary to install additional
spacers so that when installing the vertical studs,
they will be 11" apart. See Fig. 3.
c) Using 1/4" diameter x 5" long lug screws, attach 2"
x 6" vertical studs onto the spacers so that their
inner edges are 23" apart. See Fig. 2
The length of these studs depends on the ceiling
height and the desired height of the hood from the
top of the cooktop. The bottom of the hood is
recommended to be within 30" to 36" over the range
cooking surface.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
The Professional Island hood is designed to be in-
stalled on a rigid structural framing. Follow these
installation steps for proper hood performance. Typi-
cal installation of the Island Hood is shown in Figure 1.
NOTE:
BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND
WEIGHT OF THE ISLAND HOOD, IT IS
NECESSARY TO MAKE A 12" WIDE BY
HOOD LENGTH SOFFIT WITH RIGID
STRUCTURAL FRAMING IN AN 8-FOOT
HIGH KITCHEN CEILING.
Adjustable chimney structures are available.
