NOTE: If you have a Back 
Supply Plenum (BSP), this must 
be installed before the hood. 
Please see Page 10.
For Wall/Single Island Style 
Hoods, prior to installation, 
check with local authorities 
having jurisdiction on clearances 
to combustible surfaces, etc.
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, install them now; Fig. 2. If you have integral filler panels, 
no additional installation is needed.

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 distributor must be contacted at this time. After the fire system has been 
installed, mount the enclosures, then the supply plenums. If an Horizontal Supply Plenum is provided, 
it should be installed before the enclosures. 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.

bolts provided in the hardware package.
3.  Position the filler panels to the hood back, 
and tack-weld them into place. (Fig. 2)
4.  To allow for ease of cleaning, caulk 
the external seams with NSF Approved
