How to level a FALMEC PRISMA hood fixed by 4 cables?
Frequently Asked Questions - 03/01/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To level your FALMEC PRISMA hood equipped with a 4-cable fixation, start by ensuring that it is properly suspended and that the 4 cables are securely attached to the upper mounting structure. The hood, weighing 15 kg, must be stable and all mounting elements must be secured before making adjustments. This operation should be performed by qualified personnel as recommended by the manufacturer.

Place a level on top of the hood to check its horizontal position and identify the sides that need adjustment. Locate the cables that need to be shortened or lengthened to correct the tilt. Note: you must adjust the 4 cables evenly to maintain the overall stability of the hood and avoid permanent tilting.

To adjust each cable, proceed as follows:

  • Loosen the fixation of the concerned cable slightly to modify its length
  • Pull or release the cable to change the height of the hood on that specific side
  • Once the adjustment is made, immediately tighten the cable fixation
  • Repeat this operation for each cable that needs it, proceeding gradually

After each adjustment, place your level back on the hood to check that you are progressing towards a perfectly horizontal position. Balance the adjustments between the four cables to maintain an evenly distributed load and avoid imbalances.

Once the hood is perfectly leveled and horizontal, ensure that all cable fixations are tightly secured. Check that the mandatory safety screws, specified by the manufacturer, are in place and properly tightened. This final securing guarantees the stability, safety, and proper functioning of the installation in the long term. Your PRISMA is now ready to effectively extract cooking fumes and vapors.
