INSTALL SUPPORT SYSTEM
1. At hood location, install 2 x 4 or larger cross
framing between ceiling joists using dimen-
sions shown.
2. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross
framing.
3. Adjust the overall height using the chart
below of the support frame. Loosen and
re-tighten the 4 screws in the height adjust-
ment slots as necessary. Insert 12 screws
(3.9x9.5mm) located in the Hardware Pack-
age (Fig.6) make sure this a 4” min. overlap
between the upper and lower support legs.
4. Secure the support frame to joists and
cross framing with six (6) screws provided
(6x70mm). Make sure screws are driven into
center of joists and framing for maximum
strength.
Notes:
a. “-” = Mounting height is not possible.
b. Minimum hood distance above cook top
must not be less than 24”. A maximum of
36” above cook top is highly recommend-
ed for best capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 36” are at the installer and
the users discretion; and if ceiling height
and fl ue lenght permit.
c. Requires optional 10 / 11’ fl ue extension,
ducted model AEIPB9SB.
