Mounting the Hood

Hood is intended to be mounted to a ﬁ nished ceiling.

1. Ceiling Preparation: Determine hood mounting location and temporarily tape paper template (incluided with the

hood) to the ceiling. Cut-out internal shaded area of template to allow the ductng and electrical to pass through.
Add wood blocking (min. 2” x 4”) onto ceiling joists to reﬁ nforce ceiling above the drywall. (FIG. A, #1) Secure (2)
1-

1/2

” wood screws into points A and B of the paper template (FIG. B). Do not completely tighten screws, leave

approx. 1/4” exposed.

2. Hood Preparation: Remove screws securing top and bottom support frames together. Adjust support frame to

accomodate the desired hood height and re-assemble the frame using the previously removed screws (2 screws
for each support frame arm). (FIG. A, #2). Taller hood heights (45” to 50”) may require a support bracket to be
installed inside the support frame. (FIG C, #1). Upper support frame arms extend past lower support frame bracket
with shorter hood heights. (FIG C, #2).

3. Lift support frame assembly up to the ceiling making sure the the word “front” on the top support frame faces the

front of the hood where the controls will be located (FIG. C). The key-holes on the top support frame should cover
the wood screws previously installed in the ceiling. Slide support frame towards narrow end of key-holes to lock
the frame in place.

4. Install the last (2) 1-1/2” wood screws into the two remaining corners of the top support frame to secure it to the

ceiling. Tighten all screws.
