Factors such as symmetry and alignment within your backsplash or cabinetry.
of the decorave chimney.
2. Calculate the available height from the ceiling to the boom of the hood (X - Fig. 15). Calculate
the height of the hood (Y), then calculate the extended height for the mounng cage (Z).
3. Expand the telescopic cage to the calculated size (Z). Use the screws provided to x the
telescopic cage in place. If the calculated height of the mounng cage is smaller than the actual
height of the cage, you will need to have both the cage and the decorave chimneys cut to t
your installaon. We recommend that a stainless steel fabricator do this to ensure a straight even
cut. If the calculated height of the mounng cage is larger than the actual height of the cage,
you will need to fabricate an extension piece. Please call our oce at 1-800-268-4086 or info@
ardaappliances.com for assistance if required.
