Installing the hood
the hood
• For the most eficient air flow exhaust, use a
straight run or as few elbows as possible.
Vent unit to outside of building and recirculating.
On avarage 2 to 3 hours are necessary to com-
plete installation (without considering cut to be
done on wall and or on cabinet, installation of
ducts, conduit and electrical connections to the
mains).
The hood is fitted with Screws and Drywall
Anchors suitable for most surfaces, consult a
Qualified Installer, check if they perfectly fit with
your cabinet/wall.
Do not use flex ducting.
COLD WEATHER installations should have an
additional backdraft damper that is already in
stalled backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic
thermal to minimize 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.
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.
Typical installation
Min installation height from the range top to the
bottom of the hood is 30" if a gas range is used
or 24" to 30" if an electric range is used.
These hoods are not recommended to be used
over indoor grills.
The hood may be installed vented to the outdoors, or
it can be installed for recirculating operation
(recirculating accessories not supplied with the
hood).
This hood can be installed over any electric and
gas cooktop/range.
It can not be installed over any professional
cooktop / range.
Installing preparation
Advance planning
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the
outdoors.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible.
Refer to" Ductwork installation guidelines"
paragraph for further informations.
• Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the
exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and
anytransition needed in advance.
• Use 8" round metal ductwork only.
Wall framing for adequate support
• This vent hood is heavy.
Adequate structure and support must be
provided in all types of installations. The hood
must be secure to vertical studs in the wall, or to
a horizontal support.
• The vent hood should be on site before $nal
framing and wall $nishing. This will help to
accurately locate the duct work and electrical
service.
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is
installed before the cook-top and countertop are
installed.
Removing the packaging
