PREPARE THE CEILING OPENING
AND THE HOOD SUPPORT
Ducting through side/front/back may have
restrictions. Please take support frame
into consideration and leave enough space
between support frame and the ducting
chosen. Refer to Hood Specifications section
for hood dimensions and ducting position.
NOTE: Support frame shown in this document is only an
example. Follow local building code as required.
The hood should always be centered over the cooktop. Make
sure there is adequate space in the ceiling structure to install
the hood and ductwork. The bottom of the hood MUST NOT
BE LESS than 48" and recommended at a maximum of 84"
above the cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.
Construct a wood framing suitable for your installation (ex.
shown in FIG.3 and 4). Refer to Hood Specifications section
at page 5 for more details. The structure must be capable of
supporting its own weight plus the weight of the hood.
