Hood Mounting Instructions
Hanging the Hood with Back Supply Plenum
Before hanging the hood according to the hood 
installation instructions, please check the following:
1.  Make sure the back supply unit is properly 
secured, as described in steps 5 and 6, page 8.
2.  Any filler panels should be attached to the hood 
before the hood installation.
To hang the hood:
1.  Lift the hood and position it so the top of the 
hood is even with the back supply (Fig. 13). This 
height should correspond to the UL hanging 
height of the hood.
2.  After the hood is hung from the ceiling, a hood 
mounting flange may be fastened to the back 
supply using sheet metal screws (by others). 
Pilot holes are recommended.
3.  Connect the remaining ductwork for the back 
supply and the hood. Caulk all mating seams 
and surfaces of the back supply, the hood, and 
the wall.
