Installation Preparation ADVANCE PLANNING • Determine the exact location of the vent hood. • Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. • Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run should not exceed 100 ft. equivalent length for any duct configurations. • Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the maximum permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors. • Use metal ductwork only. These hoods must use 8″ round duct.
Installation Preparation DUCT FITTINGS Use this chart to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors. NOTE: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths! Maximum duct length: 100 foot for 8″ round duct Flexible ducting: If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled. The flexible metal duct should be straight and smooth and extended as much as possible. DO NOT use flexible plastic ducting.
Installation Preparation TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT SUPPLIED) Tape measure Knife Spirit level Measuring tape Wire cutter/stripper Wire nuts Electric drill with 5/16″ and 3/8″ bits Phillips and flat blade screwdrivers Hammer Pliers Pliers Safety glasses Duct tape Tape to mount template Gloves to protect against sharp edges 120V 60Hz.
Installation Preparation DETERMINE INSTALLATION HEIGHT Wall Mount ZV900 Installation Heights 24” Min. 30” Max. 36” Min. The vent hood must be installed 24″ min. and 30″ max. above the cooking surface. The hood installation height, from the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood, depends upon ceiling height. ACCESSORIES: • Order ZX90010 accessory for ZV900 wall mount hood to reach ceiling heights between 9′ 6″ and 10′ 5″. This accessory contains one 40″ long duct cover.
Installation Preparation CHECK INSTALLATION HARDWARE Locate the hardware accessory box packed with the hood and check contents.
Installation Instructions INSTALLATION—VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE 1 INSTALL FRAMING FOR HOOD SUPPORT DUCTWORK, WIRING LOCATIONS Determine the exact location of the vent hood. • Locate the template packed with the literature. – Measure 36″ from the floor to the top of the cooking surface. Add hood installation height determined on page 7. Mark that location. – Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the wall. 5-1/2” centerline to wall FOR CEILING VENT DUCTING 8-1/2” dia.
Installation Instructions INSTALLATION—VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE 2 INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKET 3 INSTALL DUCT BRACKET This vent hood must be secured to the horizontal support or wall studs. • With the template taped in place, use a punch to mark mounting bracket screw locations. • Drill 3/16″ pilot holes in 2 of the punched locations in the lower bracket. • Remove the template. The duct bracket should be installed against the back wall and flush with the ceiling.
Installation Instructions INSTALLATION—VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE 4 PREPARE THE HOOD • Carefully lay the hood on its back. • Fasten the hood to the motor housing from the bottom, using 6 screws. • Place the hood on a padded surface. • Position the motor housing at the back of the hood. Electrical connectors should face the front, with rear mounting hooks at the back. • Slip the bottom flange of the motor housing into the side slots at the top rear opening.
Installation Instructions INSTALLATION—VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE 5 MOUNT THE HOOD 7 CONNECT DUCTWORK WARNING: 2 people are required to lift and position the hood onto the mounting bracket. • Install ductwork, making connections in the direction of airflow as illustrated. • Push duct over the exhaust outlet and damper. • Secure joints in ductwork with sheetmetal screws. • Wrap all duct joints and the flange connections with duct tape for an airtight seal.
Installation Instructions INSTALLATION—VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE 8 CONNECT ELECTRICAL Verify that power is turned off at the source. • Remove junction box cover and knockout on the left side. WARNING: If house wiring is not 2-wire with a ground wire, a ground must be provided by the installer. When house wiring is aluminum, be sure to use U.L. approved anti-oxidant compound and aluminum-to-copper connectors.
Installation Instructions INSTALLATION—VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE 9 INSTALL DUCT COVERS 10 INSTALL FILTERS • Place the decorative duct covers on top of the hood.
