INSTALLATION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO

PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue

(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment

manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air

Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden

utilities.

d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS BLOWER WITH

ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

INSTALLATION DETAILS

Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. These instructions apply to Hestan

outdoor hoods, when mounted over a Hestan or Aspire grill. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE GRILL

CLEARANCES DESCRIBED IN YOUR GRILL INSTALLATION MANUAL.

FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE LOCATIONS ONLY!! This appliance is wall-mounted and must NOT

be installed on or next to unprotected combustible construction. A minimum clearance to vertical

combustible material, such as adjacent walls, is 12” [30 cm] on the sides of the appliance (see Fig. 1).

ALL construction materials in the wall immediately behind the vent and the appliance below (usually

a grill), and within the 12” [30 cm] zone must be non-combustible. As an example, if you have a

stucco or tiled surface and wood-frame construction beneath, or wood-frame walls adjacent or

behind, the wood is considered combustible, even though the vent or grill is touching the stucco or

tiled surface, which is non-combustible. In extreme circumstances, the wood could potentially get

hot enough to burn.

Similarly, if you have the hood mounted over a free-standing grill which is parked close to these

surfaces when grilling over an extended period of time, enough radiant heat could reach the wood

and potentially get hot enough to burn, in extreme circumstances.

Construction materials such as metal studs with cement board and stucco/stone surfaces are ideal for

this application.

A minimum of 5” [12.7 cm] clearance behind the grill is needed to open the hood, and to adequately

capture smoke and vapors from the cooking area.

See Fig. 1 on the next page for details.
