Installation
INSTALLING THE SUPPORT SYSTEM
1 At hood location, install 2 x 4 cross framing between ceiling joists
using dimensions shown in Figure 6.
2 Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark the location of the
ceiling joists and cross framing.
3 Measure the ceiling height and determine distance between the cook
top and bottom of hood.
4 Per the chart, adjust overall length of the support frame as shown in
Figure 7. Remove and reinstall (4) screws in the height adjustment
slots to achieve proper length. Install (4) additional 3.9 x 9.5mm
screws and 4.5 diameter washers from the Hardware Parts Bag.
NOTE
A. Minimum hood distance above the cook top must not be less than 24”.
A maximum of 30” above the cook top is highly recommended for best
capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 30” above the cook top are at the installer’s and user’s
discretion - providing that the ceiling height and flue length permit.
B. Requires optional 10-foot flue extension model EXPV100S.
