and ideally not higher than 32”above

the cook-top. It is strongly

recommended, at this point, that

calculations and measurements be

made and all planning and heights

be finalized. You will need to fit the

appropriate length of ducting to the

hood fan before installing it to the

ceiling.

Planning should consist of a test

assembly of the power unit and

teles coping structure bef ore

attempting to mount everything to

the ceiling. By following this test

assembly you will be able to finalize

the correct length of the assembly

before mounting it to the ceiling.

Test assembly should include

actually attaching the following items

together – refer schematic of

components and

“Fixing the main

support brackets”

below – Brack-

ets A, B, C, power unit and deflector

if re-circulating.

This is also a good time to test the

electrical functioning of the hood

before it is installed. Before

switching on the light or lights,

ensure the tape holding the globes

in place has been removed. The

globes get extremely hot and will

very quickly burn the tape and

discolor the globes irreparably.

Do not switch on the lights with the

hood flat on any surface as the

intense heat will burn the surface

and destroy the lamps. Connect a

power supply to the unit and test all

functions.

Installation of the island hood

consists of fixing the ceiling bracket

to

substantial members in the

ceiling. The bracket must be fixed to

the frame by screwing through the

ceiling into the heavy members

inside the ceiling.

This is critically

important as the entire hood fan

hangs from this position, and

ceiling board alone will not

support the weight of the hood

fan.

Discard the plastic wall plugs

supplied for fixing the bracket to the

ceiling – these are not appropriate for

North American structures.

Fixing the Main Support

Brackets

If the range hood will be fixed to dry-

wall we strongly recommend that you

discard the wall plugs and screws

supplied. These anchors are only

suitable for brick/masonry applica-

tions. We suggest the use of a more

appropriate anchor system specifi-

cally designed for drywall

Using Bracket “A” as a template

mark the ceiling where the fixing

screws “A” will be positioned –

remember the correct orientation

from above. Attach bracket “A” to

t he c e i lin g p erm ane n t ly. I f

re-circulating, attach the deflector to

Bracket “A” before fixing it to the ceil-

ing – refer schematic on page 5.

Fix Bracket “C” to the power unit with

the nuts and washers supplied

(Items “A” on the schematic on page

5). Ensure that the bracket is in-

stalled as shown to enable full ac-

cess to the square plastic black box

and the metal electrical junction box.

Slide Bracket “B” over Bracket “C”

(once again ensure full access to the

plastic and electrical boxes is main-

tained) and fix it in place, at the

previously calculated length using

the machine screws denoted by

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
