INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before beginning installation of your Guardian unit, locate and identify each part (Figure 2, 3, 4 & 5). Turn off the electrical power supply to the kitchen range hood before boring holes. Wear approved safety goggles. Protect range top surface from falling debris. Comply with approved codes and ordinances when connecting gas or electric supply systems and fittings. Electrical wire and connections must conform to the rating of your appliances and equipment.
DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL EXTENSION CORDS FOR PERMANENT INSTALLATION!
ASSEMBLY TOOLS REQUIRED:
- Two (2) Adjustable Wrenches, 8 or 10 inch
- Pliers
- Standard Screwdriver
- Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Electric Drill
- 3/16" Drill Bit
- 7/8" Hole Saw
- Measuring Tape
- Center Punch
- Allen Wrench Set, including 1/8" and 7/64" Sizes
Note: To adjust pipe length, the following additional tools are required:
- Hack Saw
- Reaming Tool and File
With rangehood installed underneath cabinet, perform the following steps:
STEP 1 (Locate Holes)
Locate the best mounting location for the extinguisher and mounting bracket kit, either the left rear or right rear of the kitchen cabinet over the range hood. Mark the location of Hole C, Figure 7 (also, see Figures 8 and 9) in the rangehood. Mark the opposite rear corner pulley Hole D at approximately the same dimensions (Figure7).
Locate the two nozzle/piping holes, A and B in the rangehood, so that the nozzles can be positioned between the front and rear burners (Figures 7, 8, and 13).
STEP 2 (Drill Holes)
Bore 3/16" pilot holes through rangehood and cabinet at the locations A, B, C and D identified in Step 1. Check the clearances around the filter elements, range hood lights, etc. Make sure ample room has been provided to adjust the cable turnbuckle. Then drill four (4) 7/8" at the pilot hole location through the cabinet bottom and range hood (Figures 7 and 8), for holes A, B, C and D.

STEP 3 (Rear Corner Pulley Installation)
Install rear corner pulley assemblies using flat washers and locknuts provided (Figure 10). Position is identified as Holes C and D in Figures 7 and 8.
NOTE: Looped end of the cable must correspond to the extinguishing and mounting bracket kit location - left or right side of the kitchen cabinet (See Figure 6).
STEP 4 (Front Corner Pulley Installation)
Position the front detection kit mounting brackets with the attached corner pulleys as close as possible to the front and outside edge of the range hood. Mark the location of the bolt holes (Figures 6 & 8).
NOTE: Corner pulleys shall be adjusted so that the cable does not touch the outer edges.
Drill four (4) 3/16" holes in the front face of the rangehood as shown in Figure 8. Attach the detection kit mounting brackets with the bolts, lock washers and nuts provided. (See Figure 8)
STEP 5 (Fire Detection Kit Installation)
A minimum of 1 1/2" clearance must be maintained between the nearest cable S-hook and the horizontal or vertical corner pulleys in the direction of cable movement when system is activated. Cable must be free to move 1 1/2 " in the direction indicated without restriction. Angle the rear corner pulleys so that the cable enters and exits in the center of the pulley opening.(See Figure 6)
