Read Before Starting Installation!
Inspect your range hood prior to installing!
Any cosmetic defects must be reported to us prior to installation.
Once this hood is installed, ICP will NOT accept any responsibility
for any cosmetic blemishes, scratches or dents in the Canopy.
Save all original packaging if you wish to return for any reason!
FIRST:
Check your local building and electrical codes.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, Do Not use any two speed motor units with a Solid
State control devise.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air to the
outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into spaces within wall, attics, ceilings, crawl spaces or
garages. For general ventilation use only. Do not use to Exhaust Hazardous or Explosive
Materials and Vapors. When venting to the outside make duct run as short and straight as
possible. Avoid using elbows if at all possible as this will reduce your performance. Every
elbow will decrease the performance and we will not guarantee the effectiveness of the range
hood.
No Performance Warranty when used above BBQ Style Grills.
DO NOT use duct pipe smaller than the outlet duct opening on the hood, this will reduce
performance and void the warranty. DO NOT use flex ducting. Also, use either a Roof Cap or
Wall Cap to end run. Be sure that all joints are taped securely in place. It is essential to have the
proper distance between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface below. In most
cases the cooking appliance manufacturers specifications will establish the fire safe minimum
distance required, although there are other factors to consider:
 Local Building Codes
 Cross directional air movements ie: open windows, air conditioning/heating outlets, cooling
fans, etc.
 Overall size of the cooking appliance and surrounding countertop surfaces.
 Range hood model selected.

Installation Detail:
MODEL: 2000PS-IS-8-SS
CAUTION: At least two installers are recommended because of the large size and
weight of this range hood.
1. PREPARE THE
CEILING OPENING.
(Figure 1) Opening:
42-1/4” W x 27-1/4” D.
The hood should
always be centered
over the cook-top.
Make sure there is
adequate space in
the ceiling structure
to install the hood
and ductwork. The
hood should be mounted 48” to 72” above the cook-top for best
removal of cooking impurities.
2. Use joist size lumber to frame in around the range hood opening.
The ceiling structure must be able to support the weight of the
hood.
3. Construct a wood framing system as shown in (Figure 2).
4. The structure must be capable of supporting its own weight plus
the weight of the range hood.
5. Open doors on hood. Lift range hood into the ceiling opening.

6. Secure each support
frame to the wooden
hood support frame
using (4) 6 x 70 mm
lag bolts and washers.
(NOT INCLUDED).
7. Adjust height to
ensure a tight fit
between the hood
and finished ceiling.
8. At the blower
discharge collar,
connect ductwork
that exhausts air to
the outside
discharge.
Remove the BLACK (Figure 3)tape that holds the damper
blades closed. (It is NOT recommended to use two (2)
dampers during installation. You have the option to use an
external damper or use the existing damper
already on our unit.)
9. Duct tape all joints to ensure an air tight seal.
10. Remove junction box cover. (Be sure to
comply with all local electrical and safety
codes.) Units are to be hard wired. It is not
recommended to add a power-cord.
Adding a power cord can loosen existing wires
inside junction box causing electrical failure.
