Installation Details
1) Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.
2) When installing an AH12 wall mount hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located no more
than 33” above the cooking surface for optimum performance.
3) Install the duct from the outside of the home to the ceiling over the exhaust outlet of the hood. The end of the duct
should terminate 1” above the ceiling. Consult the connection diagram (on next page) for further details on exhaust
outlet placement.
Use duct tape to seal all joints. A complete listing of available Vent-A-Hood ducting materials is provided on the back
page of this instruction sheet.
4) Place the ceiling collar on the ceiling with the notched side 1/16” from the wall. Center the ceiling collar over the
location where the hood will hang. Trace the opening and the four screw holes from the plate onto the ceiling. Remove
the ceiling collar and cut the center opening in the ceiling as marked. Place the ceiling collar back onto the ceiling,
aligning the screw holes with the marks on the ceiling. Using appropriate hardware, secure the ceiling collar to the
ceiling through the four screw holes.
