1. For an island hood installaon, you will need
to consider the following when calculang the
mounng height (C - Fig. 12 on p.8):

minimum mounng height above an electric
range is 24” and above a gas range is 30”.
Check your range’s installaon manual for the
correct minimum mounng height for your
installaon.

the hood at a height where the controls are at

2. Calculate the available height from the ceiling to the boom of the hood (X - Fig. 15). Calculate
the height of the hood (Y), then calculate the extended height for the mounng cage (Z).
3. Expand the telescopic cage to the calculated size (Z). Use the screws provided to x the
telescopic cage in place. If the calculated height of the mounng cage is smaller than the actual
height of the cage, you will need to have both the cage and the decorave chimneys cut to t
your installaon. We recommend that a stainless steel fabricator do this to ensure a straight even
cut. If the calculated height of the mounng cage is larger than the actual height of the cage,
you will need to fabricate an extension piece. Please call our oce at 1-800-268-4086 or info@

1. Centre the upper cage on the ceiling around the exhaust duct
opening. Ensure that:
a. The markings coincide with the cross-bracings between the
ceiling joints.
b. The cage is square with the cooking surface below.
c. The side of the cage that has the arrow on it faces the front.
When installed, this is the side of the hood that will have the
controls.
2. Mark the upper screw holes on the ceiling (Fig. 16).
3. Parally screw the four mounng screws provided into the
ceiling at these markings.
4. Ensure that the unit is square and level then completely ghten the screws. The cage should
now be rmly aached to the ceiling.
5. If you have not done so previously, insert the lower cage over the upper cage. Adjust the height
to the necessary distance using screws supplied.
