Planning the Installation
1. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the liner must
be exhausted to the outside. Never exhaust into a wall, an attic or a
concealed area in the building. This can create a potential hazard.
2. Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or qualified technician for
proper installation of exhaust ducting.
3. Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts – away from doors
and windows, when possible.
4. Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short as
possible. Where turns are necessary, keep turning radius as large and
as smooth as possible.
5. The ducting must be air tight. Use a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws
at every duct joint. Then, seal the duct joints with high quality duct
tape.
6. Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by
state, municipal and local codes.
WARNINGS: Following Are Manufacturer's Suggestions. Always Observe
Local Building Codes.
• Liners installed in custom canopies constructed of combustible
materials, should be installed with the combustible material structure
a minimum of 36" above the surface of the heating element.
• Liners installed in custom canopies constructed of non-combustible
materials, should be installed with the non-combustible material
structure a minimum of 30" above the surface of the heating element.
• Follow all instructions regarding minimum safe clearances and
installation location. Failure to do so may result in a safety hazard or
fire.
• To reduce the risk of fire use only metal ductwork.
Choosing the right remote mount blower (see page 7)
Look on page 7 for a list of Fantech fans recommended for use with the SHL & SGHL. Series Range Hood Liners. Some models remotely mount in
the attic. Other models are used when installation requires a roof mount or wall mount fan.

• The hood liner is designed to install inside a custom hood enclosure
and operates with a remote mount blower (purchased separately). See
dimensional drawings (page 3) for hood dimensions. See chart (page 7)
for Fantech exhaust fans recommended for use with these units.
• A qualified person must complete the installation of this appliance.
• Plan the installation so that all minimum clearance are met or
exceeded.
• IMPORTANT: You must provide support framing and backing in the
areas in which you are securing the liner to in your custom canopy.
Failure to do so could damage the liner and void the warranty.
• The hood liner uses 120VAC, 60 Hz power. Supply wires should be
installed by a qualified person(s) and must meet all electrical codes.
The SGHL30 Hood Liner has 6" is desgined for use with 8" duct
connections, SGHL36 is designed for use with 8" diameter duct, the
SHL36 is designed for use with 8" diameter duct and the SHL42 &
SHL48 is designed for use with 10" diameter duct. Use only rigid metal
duct.
• For a truly quiet kitchen ventilation system add a Fantech "duct
silencer" (LD Series) to the installation. The simple addition of an inline
duct silencer between the hood liner and the remote fan can typically
reduce the "perceived" sound level of the system by more than 50%.

• A quality cap with built in backdraft damper or an inline damper is
recommended to minimize cold air return through the duct when the
product is not in use.
• Always install ventilation products with an approved wall or roof cap.
• Duct performance is improved by using round, smooth metal duct work
instead of rectangular.
• If multiple elbows must be used, ensure that there is a minimum of 24"
of straight duct between any two elbows.
• Avoid "S:" or back to back configurations caused by adjacent elbows.
• Route ducting to terminate at the hood liner.
