1. Do not obstruct the openings around the exhaust air diverter atop the hood. No minimum clearance (0”) is
required between the air diverter and the ceiling, or overhead obstructions, but it is adviseable to allow some
clearance (3” to 6”) to make moving the unit easier should the need arise.
2. The GVH-C Hood is designed to sit atop a counter space. Ensure that the intended site is structurally sound and
capable of supporting the hood’s weight plus that of the appliance(s) to be placed under it. See Sect on 1-4.4,
Hood We ght.
3. If installing the Floor Stand version, be sure the floor area is level. The Hood Stand has ad ustable leveling legs
for leveling the Hood, if required.
2-2. Locat on
DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER THIS EQUIPMENT, OR ADD ATTACHMENTS OF ANY KIND.
NOTE:
•For some nstallat ons, t may be necessary to consult a HVAC spec al st to conf rm that proper
room a r exchange s occurr ng and that the on-s te A/C system s capable of handl ng the
ant c pated heat load.
•Exhaust ventilation is recommended for areas in which recirculating hoods are operated. Giles recommends 50
CFM per linear foot of hood space. Th s amount could vary based on local codes and s te-spec f c s tuat ons.
•The sound level of the hood while operating will be approximately 65 dB.
