Preparing for Installation, Planning the Location

Preparing for Installation

WARNING

•The electrical service to the range hood should be installed only by a licensed electrician.

•Observe all governing codes and ordinances during planning and installation. Contact your local building department for further information.

•DO NOT use the mounting anchors provided with the unit. They are part of a standard mounting hardware package provided with many Dacor hoods, but not suitable for use with this model.

•The range hood is heavy. To prevent personal injury and property damage caused by the hood coming loose from the ceiling, mount the hood mounting bracket only as specified below.

Planning the Location

•Carefully check the location where the hood is to be installed. The hood should be placed for convenient access. Make certain that electrical power can be provided in the selected location.

•Install the range hood and cooking appliance(s) so that they can be removed if service is required.

•Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions are met or exceeded (see page 3). Dimensions shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted.

Preparing the Mounting Bracket Location

•The mounting bracket must be attached directly to the studs in the ceiling, or to a reinforced mounting block secured to the studs. See below for mounting bracket hole dimensions.

•Attach the mounting bracket directly above the center of the cooktop.

•Attach the mounting bracket to the mounting surfaces with #12 screws (not supplied). The screws must be of sufficient length to penetrate into the wood mounting surfaces at least 1 1/2” (3.8 cm).

•The mounting surface must be level.

•Allow clearance in the center of the mounting bracket for the exhaust duct to pass through the ceiling (8-inches in diameter).
