Installation Guide

PART 2 Securing the Liner

TILE BACKSPLASHES

IMPORTANT: Liners installed immediately above the top edge of tile backsplashes thicker than 3 / 4‖ should be

installed slightly forward—not flush with the back wall. The back filter bracket of the liner is 1inch deep and tile

installations thicker than this will prevent the filters from being removable.

MOUNTING HOLES

NOTE: DRILLING THROUGH STAINLESS STEEL REQUIRES A TITANIUM BIT.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THROUGH FILTER BRACKETS, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR UL LABEL.

Because the Trade-Wind

Standard Series Liner was designed for various wood hood applications, no mounting

holes have been pre-drilled. This allows the liner to be attached in most any area of the canopy that has a wood

frame support, e.g., the back, sides or top. We recommend at least six equally spaced screws per liner—three

screws along the back (top or back side panel) and three screws on the front top, immediately next to the light bar

wall or behind the removable light bar. Where possible, the screw holes should be drilled into the top of the liner

(instead of the sides or back). This will help prevent distorting the liner walls in situations where the wood frame is

not properly sized to the liner. Models with internal motors should also have at least one screw centered and

securely in place on each end (side panel) of the liner because of the added weight.

Neatly measure and mark (left to right and top to bottom) and drill screw holes through the liner as required to

match the wood backing. It is easier to drill holes from the outside in, by setting the liner on its face (on cardboard)

and drilling from the back side. Secure the liner by driving screws (by others) tightly into the wood frame. Use

washers where necessary. When removing the filters, be careful not to scratch the liner by placing the filters,

screws, drill bits or drill on the liner’s face.

CONNECTING TO THE VENT PIPE

The VSL liner comes with a metal start collar welded in place. Attach the Start Collar to the duct with at least three

equally spaced screws. Also apply duct tape, preferably the metal type. Some installations, (where the outside of

this portion of the duct is not accessible) will require the metal tape be applied on the inside of the duct. For better

access to these installations, the center bracket on the 42‖ liner model is removable. Be careful not to scratch the

liner when working with the bracket.

PART 3 Use and Care

WARNING! Do NOT operate the blower / ventilator system without the filters in place, or with dirty, grease

laden filters.

OPERATING CONTROLS: Always activate the ventilator when using cooking appliances. For best

performance, turn on the blower a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern within the

room. To use the electronic touch control, touch the button that corresponds to the desired speed. To turn off

blower, touch the illuminated speed button again or the illuminated blower off control button. The electronic light

control when touched comes on high; touch again for night light setting, touch again for light off.

The inline and remote blower options come with knobs. To use these controls, adjust the fan speed by simply

turning the knob. To turn off blower, turn knob to off position. For controlling the lighting, turn the corresponding

knob; the light comes on high and adjusts to the night light setting.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS: Eliminate air currents in the liner vicinity by shutting nearby windows and doors,

turning off ceiling fans and adjusting the adjacent heating and air conditioning outlets if necessary. Place your

largest pans on the rear burners whenever possible. Clean filters and grease laden surfaces often to improve

efficiency. Always use lids on cookware to retain heat and moisture. Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook

food. Select cookware of proper size, material and construction for the cooking task being performed.
