Advance Planning INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OPTIONAL DUCT COVER ACCESSORIES These vent hoods are designed to be installed onto a wall or beneath a soffit or cabinet. Installation with Warming Shelf • Hoods must be installed 32" min., 38" max. over any type cooking surfac when warming shelf is used. Installation without Warming Shelf • Install these hoods 30" min. to 36" max. above the cooking surface when installed over any professional style cooktop or range. • These hoods may be installed 24" min.
Advance Planning DETERMINE INSTALLATION HEIGHT, DUCT COVER ACCESSORIES These vent hoods must be installed 30" min. to 36" max. above the standard 36" high cooking surface. When installed with the warming shelf, allow 32" min. to 38" max. clearance. The exact hood installation height is determined by the ceiling height. 1. Measure the exact ceiling height. 2. Review the chart at right to determine the range of possible hood installation heights that can be accomplished with one or more duct covers. 3.
Advance Planning ADVANCE PLANNING POWER SUPPLY IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully) Ductwork Planning • These vent hoods are equipped for 10" round ductwork. For best performance, use 10" round ductwork on the 48" wide hoods. 30" and 36" hoods may be transitioned to 8" round. • This hood may be vented vertically through upper cabinets, soffit or ceiling. A duct transition piece is supplied for vertical exhaust. Use locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.
Advance Planning DUCT FITTINGS Use this chart to compute maximum permissable lengths for duct runs to outdoors. For best results, use 10" diameter duct. Note: Do not exceed maximum permissable equivalent lengths! Maximum recommended duct length for these hoods: 150 feet Equivalent Quantity Duct Piece Length* Used 10" round to 8" round Round, straight Do NOT use flexible plastic ducting.
Installation Preparation TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT SUPPLIED) Hammer Duct tape Electric or battery operated drill and 1/8", 3/8" bits Key Hole Saw Wire cutter/ stripper Duct Tape Pencil and tape measure Spirit level Wire Cutter/Stripper Safety glasses Wire nuts Key Hole Saw Wire Nuts 10" round 762Dia5 metal duct, length to suit installation.
Installation Preparation PARTS PROVIDED Locate the parts packed with the hood. Duct Transition with Damper 761Dia28 2 Stainless Steel Grease Filters (3 filters with 48" models) Heat Lamp (2 with 48" models) 2 Implement Rods and 4 Stand-offs Allen Wrench For Implement Rods 490Dia57 HARDWARE PACKAGE Locate and check contents. Screws shown actual size.
Installation Instructions STEP 1 DETERMINE HOOD, DUCTWORK AND WIRING LOCATIONS • Use a level to draw the cooktop centerline location. Draw the line to ceiling height. • Measure desired distance from the bottom of the hood to the cooking surface. 9-7/8" Top of Hood Note: If you are installing the hood with duct covers, be sure to read “Using Duct Cover Accessories” page 7. Exact installation height may be determined by use of one or more duct covers.
Installation Instructions STEP 2A INSTALL HOOD ONTO WALL IMPORTANT: Framing must be capable of supporting up to 150 lbs. Install Transition Onto Top of Hood SKIP THIS STEP IF INSTALLING BENEATH A SOFFIT OR CABINET, GO TO STEP 2B. • Locate at least 2 vertical studs at the wood support. • Center the supplied wood support, left to right and below the 20" marked line. Duct Transition IMPORTANT: Remove shipping tape from damper and check that damper moves freely.
Installation Instructions STEP 2B Alternate Mounting Method INSTALL HOOD TO SOFFIT OR BENEATH CABINETS SKIP THIS STEP IF USING WALL MOUNTING METHOD When necessary, the hood may be installed so that it is supported by the soffit. • The soffit should be constructed with 2 x 4’s. • Determine the installation location on the wall. • Continue the centerline forward on the bottom of the cabinet or soffit.
Installation Instructions STEP 5 INSTALL DUCT COVERS STEP 3 CONNECT DUCTWORK • Install ductwork, making connections in direction of airflow as illustrated. • Secure joints in ductwork with sheetmetal screws. • Wrap all duct joints with duct tape for an airtight seal. • Use duct tape to Air Flow seal the flange Duct Tape connection. Reach Over Seam Screw inside the hood and and Screw push the damper up to be sure it moves freely. Note: For easier handling, remove cardboard insert after film is peeled off.
Installation Instructions STEP 7 INSTALL FILTERS • Insert the grease filter into the opening and drop into the bottom. Raise filter to the top and lock into place. • Drop grease tray into the hood. The rear tabs should engage the slots in the hood track. • To remove the filters, grasp the handle, push the filter up and lift out. STEP 8 INSTALL BACKGROUND AND SHELF INSTALL BACKGUARD: • Remove packaging. • Place backguard against the bottom of the hood to use as a template.
Installation Instructions STEP 9 INSTALL SHELF "ONLY" STEP 10 INSTALL IMPLEMENT RODS • Remove shelf packaging and protective film. • If installing the shelf alone, without the backguard, place shelf against the bottom of the hood and mark the screw hole locations "B" on the wall. • Drill two 1/8" pilot holes. • If the drill did not enter the studs, enlarge holes to 3/8". • Insert the wall anchors into the enlarged holes. Remove the screws from the wall anchors.
