WARRANTY
This equipment is warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship, under normal use and
service, for a period of 12 months from date of shipment. This warranty shall not apply if:
1. The equipment is not installed by a qualified installer per the MANUFACTURER’S installation
instructions shipped with the product,
2. The equipment is not installed in accordance with federal, state and local codes and regulations,
3. The equipment is misused or neglected,
4. The equipment is not operated within its published capacity,
5. The invoice is not paid within the terms of the sales agreement.
The MANUFACTURER shall not be liable for incidental and consequential losses and damages
potentially attributable to malfunctioning equipment. Should any part of the equipment prove to be
defective in material or workmanship within the 12-month warranty period, upon examination by the
MANUFACTURER, such part will be repaired or replaced by MANUFACTURER at no charge. The
BUYER shall pay all labor costs incurred in connection with such repair or replacement. Equipment shall
not be returned without MANUFACTURER’S prior authorization, and all returned equipment shall be
shipped by the BUYER; freight prepaid to a destination determined by the MANUFACTURER.
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.
