Preparation before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,
PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING
THE VENT OPENING.
Decide the location of the venting pipe from
-
the hood to the outside. Refer to Figure 1.
A straight, short venting run will allow the hood
-
to perform more efficiently.
Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and
-
long run as possible. This may reduce the
performance of the hood.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe
-
sections.
Telescopic Stack Installation
1. Mark centerlines of cook top or range on
ceiling above. Use centerlines marked on
ceiling to position the mounting template as
shown in Figure 2.
2. Remove and save template. Cut and remove
ceiling drywall. Install 2" x 4" cross framing
lumber (not provided) between ceiling joists.
Refer to Figure 3. Consult a professional if
you have difficulty or your installation is
unique.
3. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross
framing, or replace the mounting template in
the position of the ceiling joists & cross
framing.
4. Attach the telescopic stack to the ceiling and
securely fasten to the joists and cross framing
with eight screws (provided) as shown in
Figure 3. Make sure screws are driven into
center of joists and cross framing for
maximum support.
5. Adjust the telescopic stack using reference F
calculated in Table 1 and measurements on
page 14. Tighten from the side with eight
(4x8mm) screws (provided) as shown in
