Installation steps

Preparation

Because of the size and weight of this island canopy hood, the support sys- tem must be securely attached to the ceiling.

For plaster or sheet rock ceilings, the support must be attached to joists.

If this is not possible, you must build a support structure behind the plaster or sheet rock.

Do Not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

1. Put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit.

Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all hood parts and hardware on it.

2. Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where the range hood will be installed.

3. Using the mounting template, mark the location of the support mounting bracket holes, vent cutout (if used) and power supply cable cutout on the ceiling. Use 1-1/4"

(3.2 cm) drill and saber saw or keyhole saw to cut openings for power supply cable and vent. (See “Venting requirements” and “Electrical requirements,” Pages 3-5.

4. If venting to the outside install vent system. (See “Venting requirements”, Page 3.) Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof openings.

5. Run wiring through ceiling according to the National Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be enough power supply cable from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box the to make the connections in the hood‘s terminal box.

Do Not turn on power until installation is completed.

Use caulking to seal all openings.
