User Manual
1. Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. See “DUCTING DO’S AND
DON’TS” on page10.
• Weight and size: For safe installation, at least two people should be present to lift and hold the
hood. For larger hoods and installations with duct covers, it is advisable to have a third person
present to assist.
• Back Venting: If venting out the wall behind the vent instead of venting through the ceiling, see
“Back Venting” on page18 for details.
2. When installing a wall mount range hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood
be located 30” [76.2 cm] above the cooking surface for optimum performance.
3. Select the appropriate installation method.
Method 1 is suitable for applications where the top of the hood (blower outlet(s) location) is
accessible after the hood is mounted on the wall and when a Hestan duct cover will be used.
• NOTE: Since Hestan duct covers can be opened for access, they can be installed with the hood
and still permit access to connection points. The duct cover frame requires that the hood and
duct cover be installed together.
Method 2 is suitable for applications where the top of the hood (blower outlet(s) location) is not
accessible after the hood is mounted on the wall.
Make sure that once the hood is mounted the motor cooling vents are
not obstructed.
