LISTINGS

FOLLOW SMACNA GUIDES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE HANGING AND

This hood is ETL listed to standard UL-710B and EPA test method 202 when installed in accordance with these installation instructions and National Fire Protection Association Standard “NFPA 96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations.”

INSTALLATION

It is imperative that this unit is installed and operated with the designed airflow, filters and construction in accordance with this manual. If there are any questions about any items, please call the service department at 1-866-784-6900 for warranty and technical support issues.

WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION, SERVICE OR MAINTAINANCE CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH. READ THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT PROVIDED WITH AN INTEGRAL FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM. AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION SHOULD BE CONSULTED AS TO THE REQUIREMENTSFOR THIS EQUIPMENT WITH RESPECT TO FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS, SUCH AS THE NEED FOR FIELD INSTALLED SYSTEMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 96.

Site Preparation

1. Provide clearance around installation site to safely rig and lift equipment into its final position. Consider general service and installation space when locating unit.

2. Thoroughly review the plans and specifications of the project.

3. Determine the exact location in which the cooking hood will be installed and verify that there are no interferences, which will prevent proper installation.

4. Verify that all overhead beams and angles are structurally strong enough to support the weight of the hood and hanging system. It is often necessary to strengthen existing structural beams, as they are not designed to carry the weight of a stainless steel hood. Refer to the project submittal drawing for hood weight(s). It may also be necessary to create a support structure suspended from the ceiling joists to better align with the desired hood location.

5. Determine if adequate room is available to install the hood with proper clearances from combustible material. IMC, NFPA96 and local authorities having jurisdiction call for a minimum clearance (typically 18 inches) between the cooking hood(s) and building materials, which are combustible. However, IMC and NFPA96 outline acceptable clearance reduction methods. It is important to check with the local authority having jurisdiction to determine that the installation method is satisfactory to meet their requirements prior to installing the equipment.

INSTALLATION OF HOODS.

Mechanical Installation

The following is a step-by-step procedure for installation of the Recirculating Hood:

1. Uncrate the hood, being very careful not to dent or scratch the outer surface. NOTE: Report any damage to the delivering freight carrier and file a claim if appropriate. Refer to the installation drawing for typical details of the ventilation system prior to hanging the hood. Check the nameplate on the equipment to make certain it meets the specifications provided by the architect and/or engineer. If discrepancies exist, notify the manufacturer immediately.

2. It’s important that you have read and understand “Site Preparation” before continuing with the installation of the hood. See Table 1 “Clearances.”

3. Determine the exact location of the hood. Ensure support beams are structurally strong enough to support the weight of the hood. The structural integrity of the structural support system is the responsibility of the contractor and the structural engineer

4. Use 5/16-18 threaded rod to hang the hood. Drill 3/8” holes in the structural support system or use Unistrut® to line up with the pre-punched holes on the hood. See Figure 1 for details.

5. Each corner of the hood has a pre-punched hole. It is important that the 5/16-18 threaded rod that will be used to suspend the hood is secured at these locations. Each hole has a 14 gauge steel support plate that is riveted to the inside of the lid to strengthen the hood corners. Do not remove or relocate these plates.

6. Raise the hood into position using high lifts or equipment jacks at each end of the hood to ensure the hood is level. When the hood is elevated to the proper height, install 5/16-18 threaded rod between the hood support plates and the modified supports in the ceiling. Secure the threaded rod with 5/16-18 large flanged nuts and appropriate sized fender washers above and below hanging angles and hood support plates.

7. Make final adjustments as needed to ensure that the hood is level. Maintain tension on all the rods to ensure hood weight is evenly distributed. Make fine adjustments to the height of the hood by simply moving the hardware up and down the threaded rod.

8. For further information detailing installation and dimensional data. See Figure 1 & 1A.
