Hood Hanging Height
The hood hanging height is critical, hanging the hood at the incorrect height may significantly reduce the ability for the hood to function properly and may be in violation of codes. The hood hanging height (typically, 78 in. (198.12 cm) above the finished floor) is given on the UL label located on the inside of the hood on the end panel. The hood must be hung level to operate properly. The grease trough is pitched to drain into the grease container.
Double Island Style Hoods
Before hanging the hoods, please verify the hood marks to make sure the correct hood is hung on the correct side.
A double island hood is created by installing two wall style hoods back to back. Use the installation procedure described on page 5 for single island hoods; install and level both hoods. After leveling, secure the hoods together by
