ISLAND HOOD INSTALLATION

♦♦ place 4 marks on the ceiling, directly above the 4 corners of your cooktop

♦♦ drawing on the ceiling, connect those 4 marks into a rectangular shape

♦♦ this shape should be the same as the perimeter of your cooktop, and located on the ceiling directly above the cooktop

♦♦ find the center point. This is where you will mount your ceiling bracket

STEP 2 Install ceiling bracket

*ceiling bracket must be mounted to a weight-bearing ceiling able to support at least twice the weight of the hood.*

♦♦ center the bracket on the ceiling, directly above your cooktop (using your lines from step 1)

♦♦ trace the outline of the ceiling bracket onto the ceiling

♦♦ mark the 4 corners where you will drill holes

♦♦ if you are venting to the outside of your home: cut out a hole in the ceiling and drop your rigid ductwork and electrical wiring though the hole

♦♦ put chimney bracket against ceiling

♦♦ drill holes into ceiling where marked, securing the ceiling bracket into place

♦♦ place brackets vertically along 4 cor- ners of the ceiling bracket

♦♦ extend the brackets to the appropri- ate length. (the bottom of the hood should be 28”-36” above the cooktop)

♦♦ screw all support brackets to the ceil- ing mounting bracket
