STORAGE
If a kitchen hood must be stored prior to installation it must be protected from dirt and moisture. Indoor storage
is recommended. For outdoor storage, cover the hood with a tarp to keep it clean, dry, and protected from UV
(Ultra Violet) Radiation damage.
Improper storage which results in damage to the unit will void the warranty.
Hood Weights
Hood weight is determined using a simple formula. Select the figures provided in columns A and B (see tables)
from the three respective categories—Hood Width, Filter Type and Hood Height—based on the hood received.
Total the three numbers in column A and the three numbers in column B. Place the sum for column A and the
sum for column B in the Hood Weight equation where shown and solve for the total Hood Weight.

the hood. Please see page 8 now.
Prior to installation, check with local
authorities having jurisdiction on
clearances to combustible surfaces.
With the hood still inside its packing
crate, position the unit beneath its
installation location.
Carefully remove the packing crate.
Place some protective material on
the floor next to the crate to avoid
damaging the hood as it is tipped on its side (Fig. 1). Tip the hood carefully onto the protective
material. If you have filler panels, see Fig. 2 below. If you have integral filler panels, no additional
installation is needed.
Hood Installation Overview
If a Back Supply Plenum is provided, install first. Before raising hood, insert 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) diameter
threaded rod (by others) into hanger brackets on hood top. Check the engineering drawings or UL
label located on the inside of the hood for proper hood height above finished floor. Install filler panels
if needed. Raise and hang hood from adequate roof or ceiling supports and secure mounting flange
to the wall using lag bolts, or fasten to the Back Supply Plenum if provided. All hanger brackets must
be used and the hood must be properly supported while lifting to prevent damage or distortion to the
hood. The hood must be hung level to operate properly. After hood is secured, make the exhaust duct
connections. The fire system distributer must be contacted at this time. After the fire system has been
installed, mount the enclosures, then the supply plenums. If a Horizontal Supply Plenum is provided, it
should be installed according to the external supply plenum installation section found on page 7. The
hood and accessories are now installed. Finally, make the electrical connections from switches to fans
and complete the fire system circuits as required by the job specification.
Rear Filler Panel Installation Instructions
Rear filler panels may be shipped loose for field
installaton or are integral to the hood. If fillers are
integral to hood, skip this section.
1. Uncrate the hood and lay it on the floor with
protective material between the hood and the floor.
2. Bolt the filler panels together with 5/16 in. bolts
from the hardware package.
3. Position the filler panels on the hood, and tackweld them to the hood back.
4. To allow for ease of cleaning, caulk the external

Hood Hanging Height
The hood hanging height is critical, hanging the hood at the
incorrect height may significantly reduce the ability for the
hood to function properly and may be in violation of codes.
The hood hanging height is given on the UL label located
on the inside of the hood on the end panel. The distance
given is from the front lip of the hood (shown in Fig. 4) to
the surface of the cooking equipment.
Continuous Capture Plenum Hoods
Use the installation procedure described on
page 4 for single island hoods; install and
