Filler Panel Installation

1. Uncrate the hood and lay it on the floor with
protective material between the hood and the floor.
2. Bolt the filler panels together with 5/16 in. bolts
provided in the hardware package.

Clearance Reduction Methods

Clearance reduction methods have been evaluated and
tested and are listed by UL (Underwriters Laboratory).
The method of test was derived from the UL 710 test
standard.
The hood may be installed with zero clearance to
combustible materials if constructed in the following
manner.
1. One inch (2.54 cm) thick layer of insulation of Owens
®
Corning Type 475, Johns Manville Type 475, IIG
®
MinWool-1200 Flexible Batt, or Knauf Insulation
Type EI 475.
2. Insulation must be held securely in place. Pins that
are welded or secured with an adhesive may be
used.
3. A backsplash panel must be attached to the wall
(insulated or uninsulated).
To comply with the UL Listing, the cooking appliances
must be as follows:
• Maximum surface temperature is 700°F (371°C)
• Appliances are located at least 3 in. (7.62 cm) from
the rear wall
• Appliances are at least 40 in. (101.6 cm) below the
bottom front edge of the hood
The hood may be installed with 3 in. (7.62 cm) clearance
to limited combustible materials per NFPA 96 if
constructed in one of the following methods:
• 3 in. (7.62 cm) rear uninsulated stand-off
• 3 in. (7.62 cm) top enclosure panel system
• 3 in. (7.62 cm) end uninsulated stand-off
Top Clearance Reduction Options
One inch (2.54 cm) layer of insulation installed on top
of the hood (optional) meets zero inch requirements for
clearance to combustible surfaces as outlined under the
clearance reductions methods.
Three inches (7.62 cm) uninsulated airspace installed on
top of hood (optional) meets NFPA 96 requirements for
clearance to limited combustible surfaces.
