Before Installing the Hood

1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible. CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2. At least two people are necessary for installation.
3. Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer, check if they perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.
4. Do not use flex ducting.
5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
6. Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Preparation

• Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
• Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

CAUTION: For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 30" (76.2 cm) above the cooking surface. For electric/induction cooktop & range installations:

Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 24" (61 cm) above the cooking surface. There is no maximum mounting height, however, we recommend mounting the hood no greater than 36" (91.4 cm) above the cooking surface. For every inch (2.54 cm) above 36" (91.4 cm), fume and moisture capture efficiency diminishes at an increasing rate and may not deliver an acceptable level of ventilating performance. This hood is intended for household use. PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATION. Check your ceiling height and hood height before selecting your hood.

Installation- Ducting Version

After having chosen the vent option, proceed as follows:

• Prepare duct and conduit cut outs as needed.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
• Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the canopy hood will be installed. Select a mounting height comfortable for the user and mark on wall.
• Prepare duct and conduit cut outs as needed.
• Remove the duct knockouts using a flat blade screwdriver and a small hammer.
• Use the screwdriver by knocking out the pannel in similar fashion to a scalpel.
• Take care of sharp edges.
