Installing the hood

•For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.

Vent unit to outside of building, only.

•On avarage 2 to 3 hours are necessary to com- plete installation (without considering cut to be done on wall and or on cabinet, installation of ducts , conduit and electrical connections to the mains).

•The hood is fitted with Screws and Drywall Anchors suitable for most surfaces, consult a Qualified Installer, check if they perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.

•Do not use flex ducting.

•COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.

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

•Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement.

The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

•Typical installation

Min installation height from the range top to the bottom of the hood is 30" if a gas range is used or 24" to 30" if an electric range is used.

These hoods are not recommended to be used over indoor grills.

The hood may be installed onto a wall and vented to the outdoors, or it can be installed for recirculating operation (recirculating accessories not supplied with the hood).

This hood can be installed over any electric and gas cooktop/range.

It can not be installed over any professional cooktop / range.

Installing preparation

Advance planning

•Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

•Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.

•Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.

Refer to “Ductwork installation guidelines” paragraph for further informations.

•Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and anytransition needed in advance.

•Use 8" round metal ductwork only.

Wall framing for adequate support

•This vent hood is heavy.

‘Adequate structure and support must be provided in all types of installations. The hood must be secure to vertical studs in the wall, or to a horizontal support.

•The vent hood should be on site before final framing and wall finishing. This will help to accurately locatethe duct work and electrical service.

•Installation will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the cook-top and countertop are installed.

Removing the packaging

Remove carton carefully, Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.

Remove the protective film covering the product before putting into operation.
