Before Installing Hood, Typical Installation

BEFORE INSTALLING HOOD

1.For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible. Maximum duct length is 40 feet, including elbows.

CAUTION:

Vent unit to outside of building only.

2.Two people are necessary for installation.

3.The hood is fitted with Screws and Drywall Anchors suitable for most surfaces. Consult a qualified installer.

4.Do not use flex ducting.

5.COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize the back flow of cold air and nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temper- atures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side (outside wall) of the thermal break.

The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.

6.Local building codes may require the installation of a make-up air system. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

7.Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. Lower installation heights will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking odors, grease, and smoke. This hood has been approved for installation heights 30” above the cooktop. Taller people may find a 30” installation height is inconvenient. DCS recommends an installation height between 30” and 36”.

8.ES30 and ES36 hood models are not recommended to be used over indoor range grills.

9.For installation over DCS Range and Cooktop models RGS-364GL or CS-364GL, the VS1236 model vent is recommended.

10.Make sure your range or cooktop is level.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

The hood can be installed using a wall mounting system or suspended under existing cabinetry in the kitchen. Ducting can be configured for both vertical and horizontal discharge.

If an infrared kit was purchased for installation with the hood, assemble the kit to the hood prior to installation.

For wall mount instllations, duct cover kits can be purchased as spacers between hood and ceiling. Duct covers are assembled to unit after the hood is installed.
