It
recommended, at this point, that
calculations and measurements be
made and all planning and heights
be finalized. You will need to fit the
appropriate length of ducting to the
hood fan before installing it to the
ceiling.
Planning should consist of a test
assembly of the power unit and tele-
scoping structure before attempting
to mount everything to the ceiling.
By following this test assembly you
will be able to finalize the correct
length of the assembly before
mounting it to the ceiling.

ensure the tape holding the globes
in place has been removed. The
globes gets extremely hot and will
very quickly burn the tape and
discolor the globes irreparably.
Do not switch on the lights with the
hood flat on any surface as the in-
tense heat will burn the surface and
destroy the lamps. Connect a power
supply to the unit and test all func-
tions.
