Installation Instructions Meeting Electrical Codes • • The owner shall verify that all electrical requirements are met by the installer. The electrical installation (incl. minimum supply-wire size and grounding) must comply with the National Electric code ANSI/NFPA (or latest revision), and local codes.
Installation Instructions Installing the Electrical Source In compliance with local codes, install an electrical junction box near the hood’s wiring access holes. Suggested Junction Box Area Hood 1. In the cabinet or wall, drill 7/8” holes through which to pass the electrical wiring. 2. See the wiring diagram on the last page of this manual. Meeting Installation Requirements The hood must be at least as wide as the cooktop. All dimensions must fall within specified minimums.
Installation Instructions Planning the Ductwork WARNING • • • • To prevent combustion by-products, smoke, or odors from entering the home, and to improve efficiency, tape all duct joints securely. Range hoods may impede proper flow of smoke and combustion gases from furnaces, gas water heaters, and fireplaces. To avoid drawing lethal gases into the home, follow the manufacturer’s directions for these devices and NFPA/ASHRAE recommendations.
Installation Instructions Planning the Ductwork, cont. Ductwork Equivalent Lengths For each new elbow and transition, you must subtract “equivalent lengths” from your total maximum duct run length to compensate for wind resistance.
Installation Instructions Planning the Mounting Location Holding brackets and hardware are provided to support the hood so you can permanently anchor it to the wall. The illustrations below show the purpose of the holding brackets and the support behind the wall. • Adjacent cabinetry Bracket attached to wall Bracket slot (on hood back) • Adjacent cabinetry • Studs • Mounting Block 16 English (If mounting the hood to brick or masonry) Select anchors rated for the hood’s weight.
Installation Instructions Marking the Exhaust-Duct Centerlines These measurements/marks help center and level the hood, and mark the duct cutouts. Have a marking tool, tape measure, and level ready. Top-Exhaust Centerline Rear-Exhaust Centerline Cooktop 1. Position the hood as it will be when installed (e.g., for a top-vent installation, set the hood with the vents on top). 2. Measure the distance from the edge of the hood to the center of the exhaust port. 3.
Installation Instructions Installing the Support Brackets CRITICAL: To avoid alignment issues during final installation, the brackets must not be over/under/ off the centerline.
Installation Instructions Rotating the Blowers for Rear Exhaust IMPORTANT: Perform this procedure before hang the hood. WARNING • • • • Ensure the electrical service meets the hood’s specifications. Observe all local codes during installation. Consult the local building department if needed. The hood must be installed by a qualified technician with sufficient personnel to assist. The owner is ultimately responsible for the hood's proper installation.
Installation Instructions Rotating the Blowers for Rear Exhaust, cont. Removing Components, cont. L-Bracket Blower Plate 4. Carefully set the hood on its back to access the bottom. 5. Find the end of the cable assembly plugged into the bottom left of the blower, then squeeze and unplug the connector. (To avoid damaging the cable-assembly contacts and wires, always pull by the connector.) 6. Unscrew the cable clamp(s), and remove the hardware that holds the blower and L-bracket. 7.
Installation Instructions Rotating the Blowers for Rear Exhaust, cont. Re-orienting the Blower(s) The blower(s) must be correctly positioned. 1. Set the hood on its top. 2. Standing at the rear of the hood and looking Left Side Rear Bottom Blower edge covers exit vent Blower I/O port (on right for rear exhaust) down at the blower, insert the blower so its I/O port faces right, and its exhaust port is against the L-bracket at the rear of the hood.
Installation Instructions Assembling the Filters Filters are boxed separately with provided hardware and must be assembled during installation. Knob Beveled lip Screw M8 Lock washer #10 DHD Baffle-Style Filter 1. Remove the plastic coating, and turn the beveled lip upward. 2. Align the screw, lock washer, and knob with the filter. The knob should be on the ridge, and the screw and lock washer in the trough. 3. Twist-tighten the knob onto each washer/screw. 4. Install the filters after hanging the hood.
Installation Instructions Using the Optional Dual-to-Single Transition Kit #AHT10, cont. Installing the AHT10 Transition Kit (top-/rear-vent configuration) NOTE The transition kit does not include the sheet-metal screws needed to install the hood. Rear-Vent Top-Vent 1. Center the transition kit over the duct collars. 2. Drill screwholes in the flanges, being sure to pierce the hood top. 3. With sheet-metal screws, fasten the AHT10 unit to the hood. 4. With foil tape/duct tape, seal the AHT10 unit’s base.
Installation Instructions Hanging the Hood, cont. Hanging slots Mou ntin g ho les 5. (If needed) Mark the top of the hood if the configuration calls for the hood to be secured at the top. 6. Remove the hood from the wall. 7. Drill the pilot or anchor holes. (If using anchors, insert them into the anchor holes.) 8. Reset the hood on the holding brackets. 9. Adjust as needed, then anchor the hood.
Installation Instructions Hardwiring the Hood, cont. Neutral (white) N1 Hot (black) L1 To junction Box Power Terminals in Hood Main Power Switch Detail Grease Channel 3. With the provided green screw, attach the ground wire to the ground screw (next to the main power switch inside the hood above the filters). IMPORTANT: Use a #10 O-ring at the end of the ground wire. 4. Remove the wing nut on the main-power-switch plate, then remove the plate to access the terminal block and connect the power wires.
Installation Instructions Inserting Light Bulbs Use only dimmable bulbs. Using non-dimmable bulbs causes damage and faulty operation. If needed, clean the lens surface so the suction cup will stick to it. Perform this procedure for each hood light. 1. (To avoid a possible short and significant property damage) Shut the main circuit breaker OFF. 2. Attach the suction cup to the bulb lens (both supplied; see the graphic). 3. Screw the bulb into the light fixture, and remove the suction cup. 4.
