Range hood - Adjust Height

Hey AusReno

I’m 187cm and my range hood is at a annoying height. I found according to the manual it can be installed another 150mm higher (currently 650mm from bench top).

No idea how to actually adjust this though - was quoted $400 by a local handyman which seems steep. I’m not overly worried about loosing extraction performance - just rather not have this thing at forehead height when trying to cook.

If anyone has any guidance how to sort I’d be much appreciated. I can’t see any mounting screws into the brickwork near the base itself.
