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.
When venting to the outside make duct run as short and straight as possible. Avoid using elbows if
at all possible. If elbows are used, we recommend that the first elbow is 24” from vent opening on
the hood (minimum of 6”)and at least 24” between it and the next elbow. We strongly recommend
no more then two 90 degree elbows in any duct run. 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 perform-
ance 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.
For best performance distance between cooking surface and the bottom of the hood is 30” and 36”.
Check local codes and appliance specifications. Keep in mind, increasing the distance will decrease
the performance.
TWIN UNITS ONLY - Transitioning two pipes into one is NOT recommended. CFMs are reduced
by 25% and the Performance warranty will be void.

IMPORTANT: Read instructions thoroughly before starting your installation: Each Island Hood
Installation is a Special or Custom Installation! All installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by a Qualified Person or persons in accordance with all applicable Codes and Standards,
including Fire-Rated Construction.
CAUTION: Be sure that incoming power is turned off!
1. Electrical Supply Required: 120 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 or 20 Amp, 2 wires with ground. Properly
grounded branch circuit.
2. Planning the Location: You must first determine the exact location where the hood will attach
to the ceiling.
A. Use a plumb line to transfer an outline of the cooking surface perimeter to the same location
above on the ceiling.
B. The typical depth of a cook
top surface is 21”, which is
smaller than the hood canopy
depth: Pyramid at 32”, Slim
Line Island at 28” , and the
Smaller Slim Line at 24” . In
either case the hood should
project 1 1/2” beyond the front
edge of the cooking surface.
*(IS19000-8 models will project
approx. 2-3/4” beyond cooking
surface due to the size of the
8” transition.)
Note:
The rear projection of the 32”
depth unit will overhang 10”,
so plan your counter top surface
accordingly. Also, the hood
should be centered right to left
space permitting, overhang 3”
on each side.
TWIN UNITS ONLY
Transitioning two pipes into one is NOT recommended. CFMs are reduced by 25% and the
Performance warranty will be void.

3. Stack Support Frame Preparation:
 The Model Hood being installed will
always determine the support frame
size required; 10 3/4”, 15 3/4” or
22 3/4” Wide and 10 3/4” Deep.
 At the proper ceiling location install
upright 2 x 4 cross framing between
ceiling joists. The location to be on
center, side to side the overall width
of the support structure selected: 10
3/4”, 15 3/4”, 22 3/4”.
 Allow electrical wiring and vent
pipe to extend below ceiling line.
Finish the ceiling surface as
required marking the location of the
cross framing (or backing) beneath.
4. Installing the Support Frame:
 Secure the support frame to the ceiling with six #8
wood screws, 2 1/2” long, using the pre drilled
holes located in the two support brackets.
 Check the frame to sure it is vertically plumb, in
both directions, and correctly positioned above the
cooking surface. The frame may be adjusted to
allow for some ceiling imperfections by using the
four adjusting screws in the elongated holes located
on the two mounting brackets.
 Now install four #10 x 5/8” screws in the pre
drilled fixed bracket holes “Locking” the support
structure in position.

5. Installing the Hood: Caution - DO NOT handle hood using Motor Mounts as Gripping
Points!
 Remove all the mesh filters located at the bottom of
your hood.
 Slim Line: Lift hood and position the support frame
between the two mounting brackets that have been
factory installed on the hood top. Secure with four #8
1” screws by installing them through the pre-drilled
holes in the brackets, into the frame.
 Pyramid: Remove the Power Liner assembly
(C2000) by unscrewing the four mounting nuts and
washers located at each corner of the hood. Install
the canopy
(shell) in the same manner as the Slim Line canopy.
Re-install the C2000 back into the canopy.
 Connect duct work to the vent opening located at the
top of the hood. Remove black tape to allow free
movement of damper blades. Make sure not to
obstruct damper operation and properly seal all duct
connections with duct tape.
6. Electrical Connections:
 Verify that power is turned off at source. Remove junc-
tion box cover from the underside of the hood at the
power supply location. Feed house electrical lead
through the pre-punched hole located in the hood top,
then into the hood junction box. Connect appropriate
wire leads, secure with wire nuts and re-install junction
box cover.
7. Decorative Stack Cover:
 Verify the actual dimensions between hood top and ceil-
ing. Test fit the stack by positioning the front portion of
the stack cover in place at all four sides of the support
frame. Adjust height if required. Now remove the double
face tape covering from the stack support tabs located next to
the canopy mounting brackets and also from the two front
vertical edges on the three sided portion of the stack cover.
 Set the stack cover in place around the support frame, mak-
ing sure of a tight joint at the top of the canopy. Now secure
the cover piece using the four screws provided. The cover
is designed to “Float” where it meets the ceiling. Should a
small gap exist, it may be caulked or hidden with a trim
molding of your choice.
8. Finalized Installation:
 You may now remove the protective clear
covering, install light bulbs and re-install
the aluminum mesh bottom filters. Re-
connect your electrical supply and test the
operation of your motors and lights.
