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
