Installation Details Continued
11) FOR BACK VENTING APPLICATIONS ONLY. IF NOT BACK VENTING, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 12. Note: Wall
studs may interfere with back venting installations. Additional framing may be required. It is necessary to cut a duct
access hole in the wall prior to installing the hood.
Using the applicable venting accessories and the connection diagrams (on page 3) as a guide, install the duct from
the outside of the home to the wall over the exhaust outlet on the hood. The end of the duct should extend 1" past the
wall. Note the special opening on the back of the TLH where the duct must be located.
12) Hang the hood on the mounting strip by aligning the channel at the top of the back of the hood over the wood mounting
strip on the wall. While holding the hood in place, mark locations on the mounting strip through the two mounting
holes in the channel at the top of the hood. Some mounting holes may be located behind the blower(s). Remove the
hood and drill 3/32" pilot holes at the center of the marks in the wood strip to prevent splitting.
13) FOR BACK VENTING APPLICATIONS ONLY. IF YOU ARE NOT BACK VENTING, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 14.
Place the appropriate elbow on the top of the hood. The elbow should be placed with the non-crimped end on the inside
of exhaust outlet collar. Use duct tape to seal joints. Insert the electrical wire from the service panel into the electrical
wire clamp on the motor box. Tighten the wire clamp. While securing the slack in the wire, lift the hood up to the wall
and hang the hood on the mounting strip, taking care to properly align the duct connection between the elbow on the
hood and the duct in the wall. Secure the hood to the mounting strip by installing the screws (previously removed
from the strip in Step 10) into the pilot holes drilled in Step 12.
SKIP STEP 14. PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 15.
14) Insert the electrical wire from the service panel into the electrical wire clamp on the motor box. Tighten the wire clamp.
Cut a piece of duct of su󰀩cient length to meet the duct in the ceiling. One end of the duct must be crimped to t inside
the duct in the ceiling. Insert the non-crimped end into the exhaust collar on the top of the hood and seal with duct tape.
While securing the slack in the wire, lift the hood up to the wall and hang the hood on the mounting strip, taking care
to properly align the duct connection between the hood and the duct in the ceiling. Secure the hood to the mounting
strip by installing the screws (previously removed from the strip in Step 10) into the pilot holes drilled in Step 12.
15) From inside the hood, using UL listed wire nuts, attach the “neutral” wire to the white lead, the “hot” wire to the black
lead, and the ground wire to the green lead inside the motor box.
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
16) Plug the motor(s) into the hood and reinstall the blower motor(s) using the three retaining screws that were previously
removed in Step 6.
17) Replace the blower housing and the blower shield. Make sure that the damper(s) open and close smoothly.
18) See the following drawings for basic door panel specications.
19) Refer to the Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light
functions to ensure they are operating properly.
