Step 11. HOOD INSTALLATION

All of these appliances must have hoods
installed on all sides with glass enclosure
panels prior to operating.
On all clean face units, slide the hoods into the slots
on the lower edges of the radiant panels (Figure 59) .
On louvered face units, slide the hoods into the slots
on the lower edges of the cabinet top. (Figure 60) .

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around your appliance with noncombustible material and
wherever cold air could enter the room. It is especially important to insulate outside chase cavity
between studs and under floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above ground level.

NOTE - Hood shown as positioned
in flush faced model. The hood
position in the louvered front model
is higher than shown.
Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/
or surround materials must not be allowed to
encroach the area defined by the appliance
front face (black sheet metal). Never allow
combustible materials to be positioned in front
of or overlapping the appliance front face. See
Figures 59 or 60.
Non-combustible materials, such as sur-
rounds and other appliance trim, may be
installed on the appliance front face with
these exceptions: they must not cover any
portion of the glass or louvers; they may
cover any portion of the top radiant panel or
the air gaps surrounding the top radiant panel
up to the installed hood.
Vertical installation clearances to combus-
tible mantels vary according to the depth of
the mantel. See Figure 62 . Mantels con-
structed of non-combustible materials may
be installed at any height above the appliance
opening; however, do not allow anything to
hang below the hood.
