Installation Preparation
Installation Considerations
The custom insert unit is designed for installation inside a
custom-built hood assembly. It is for ducting to the outside.
It cannot be used in conjunction with a recirculation unit.
Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or
range can vary. To obtain the necessary installation height
above a cooktop, rangetop or range, consult the
appliance's installation manual.

Hood Width
The hood width should be no less than the width of the
cooking surface. For proper performance, the housing must
cover the entire cooking surface.
Where space is not restricted, a wider hood can be used to
increase capture area.
Distance From Cooking Surface
The installation height ranges from a minimum height of
30'' (762 mm) to a maximum height of 40'' (1,016 mm);
however, it is necessary to follow the cooking appliance
manufacturer's installation instructions for proper hood
height.
Unit Weight
When calculating the load for the housing support system,
be sure to consider the weight of the ventilation unit.

IMPORTANT:
The supplied weights address only the ventilation unit and
blower. Installer must account for weight of any materials
of construction when calculating the total dead weight
load of installation, including but not limited to: wall, tile,
mortar, plaster, brick, finishes, partitions, and other
similarly incorporated architectural and structural items. It
is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
