Nice Design But Installation Is Dicey and Unclear
Submited By:Traveler-05/19/15
Nice unit, sleek look, and seems to work well. However, in the original carton the glass top had a scratch about 7" long, so had the retailer secure a replacement. Alas, the replacement glass had not one, but two, defects: a scratch about 2” long and an abrasion (dull) area about 3” on the opposite corner. My conclusion is poor quality control. Further, the instructions are fuzzy about installation height above the cook top. Finally, the bracket used to secure the hood section to the ceiling bracket is a slide-type rather than a fixed series of holes in which to use fasteners. In my opinion this is a very inferior method and compromises the stability and levelness of the hood structure (the installer, a professional contractor, had a heck of a time in getting this to be level with the slide-type bracket assembly). The unit looks great with a clean uncluttered look, yet the installation was a huge problem (and, of course, had to be done two times, thus far, awaiting yet another glass canopy, which will cost a 3rd install). I expected more from Frigidaire so this experience has been disappointing, to say the least!
Yes, I recommended this product.
