Installation Details
1) Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Note: These instructions apply to standard hoods only.
Custom hoods may require additional specication consideration.
2) When installing a 9” tall under cabinet hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located no more
than 24” - 27” above the cooking surface for optimum performance.
3) Inspect the underside of the cabinet for a ush mounting surface. If the underside is recessed, install wood strips to
provide a ush surface for the hood mounting screws to engage.
4) Cut hole(s) in the bottom of the cabinet to allow for duct(s) and electrical to pass through. Consult the connection
diagrams (on next page) for further details on exhaust outlet and electrical placement.
5) IF THE HOOD IS TO BE “BACK VENTED”, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 6.
Install the duct(s) from the outside of the home down to the location of the exhaust outlet(s) on the top of the hood
allowing room for the transition (if applicable). If a transition is used, install duct down to the location of the transition
outlet plus 1”. This will allow the transition to engage 1” inside of duct. Consult the connection diagrams (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.
Transition heights are as follows:
Single Blower (B100): 6” round duct will connect directly to the top of the liner.
Dual Blower (B200): 8” round duct will connect directly to the top of the liner.
Single and Dual Blower (B100 & B200): 6” round duct will connect directly to the top of the hood; 8” round will
connect directly to the top of the hood. Optional 10” round combination
transition (VP562, sold separately) is 17 1/2” tall.
Two Dual Blowers (Two B200s): Two 8” rounds connect directly to the top of the hood. Optional 12” round
combination transition (VP563, sold separately) is 16 1/2” tall.
