5. Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your range hood. Refer to the included installation draft for detailed diagrams.
5.1 Mounting the Range Hood
The FIREGAS Island Range Hood is designed for ceiling mount installation. Ensure the ceiling structure can support the weight of the unit. The adjustable chimney allows for flexible installation heights.

The recommended installation height from the cooktop to the bottom of the range hood is between 25.6 inches and 30 inches. For higher ceilings, an extra extension chimney (model: FGS-TI02-ZST) can be purchased separately to accommodate 9-10 ft ceilings.
5.2 Ducting Options
This range hood supports both ducted (exhaust) and ductless (recirculation) operation.
- Ducted Mode: Connects to a 6-inch round duct to vent air outside. This method provides the most effective removal of cooking odors and smoke.
- Recirculation Mode: For kitchens without external venting options, charcoal filters (Model CC170, included) can be installed. These filters purify the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen.
