Ducting Options and Examples Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual. All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual, is declined. Venting methods The hood is equipped with a transition B for discharge of fumes to the outside (Ducting version). Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the Ductless (Recirculating) version.
Installation Installation - Ducting version • 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.
Mounting the hood WARNING: 2 people are required to lift and position the hood onto the mounting screws. • Place the template on the wall along the horizontal line, make sure the template is leveled and centered with the centerline. • Mark “upper” screw holes locations in the wall. • IMPORTANT. Check to be sure that hole locations are leveled and correctly centered by the vertical centerline. • Drive “upper” wood screws by hand. Leave ¼ “ of distance between the screw head and the wall.
Connecting the ductwork • Install ductwork, making connections in the direction of airflow as illustrated. • Push duct over the exhaust outlet. • Wrap all duct joints and the flange connections with duct tape for an airtight seal. • Make the same connection in the wall or ceiling vent exit. • If not already done, install 1/2” conduit connector in jbox. Electrical connection WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Warning: Turn off power circuit at the service panel before wiring this unit.
Mounting the duct cover If range hood does not operate: • • • • • Position the duct cover over the mounted hood. Slide the bottom of the duct into the canopy area.

If a telescopic duct cover is used, grab the upper part of the telescopic duct cover, pull it and place it in the duct cover mounting bracket. Secure the top of the duct with 2 assembly screws provided. • Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped or the house fuse blown.
Installation - Ductless (Recirculating) version If ductwork will vent to rear: • Use a level to draw a line straight up from the centerline on the template. • Measure at least 23 - 3/4" (the measure might vary dependig on the elbow used) above the pencil line that indicates the bottom installation height, to the circle center of an 8-½” diameter duct hole (Hole may be elongated for duct elbow). CAUTION To install the hood in this version, first purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit.
