island hood installation
Mark ceiling
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
Install ceiling bracket
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
*ceiling bracket must be mounted to a weight-bearing ceiling able to support at least twice the weight of the hood.*
Install support brackets
Install Chimney
slide inner chimney sleeve over support brackets,
covering the ceiling bracket
screw into place at the top of ceiling bracket
slide outer chimney sleeve to the bottom portion
of the chimney
adjust until the bottom chimney sleeve comes a
few inches from the bottom of the support brack-
ets
you may want to use painters tape to help hold
the chimney in place while you proceed to step 5
Attach Hood
if your hood comes with a transition ducting piece,
secure it to the base of your hood before mount-
ing
place the base of the hood directly under the
chimney
screw hood to the support brackets on all 4 cor-
ners
feed electrical and ducting work through chimney
slide outer chimney sleeve down into place, meet-
ing the top of the hood
*first make sure your ductwork and electrical work are pulled through the ceiling and ready to go
(see preparation work and step 2 above)
Install Filters
if your hood will be ductless, install the charcoal
filter (see filter information after the Control Panel
diagram above)
peel off any protective tape or film on the metal
filter
pop the spring loaded metal filter into place, di-
rectly under the hood
That’s it! Now you’re ready to enjoy your new
