DCS 221712 manual Ceiling Preparation, Before Installing Hood

BEFORE INSTALLING HOOD

CEILING PREPARATION

Installing supports above ceiling drywall.

NOTE: Take into consideration the hood depth; some models are much deeper than the cook top.

NOTE: The following steps pertain to hood installation using chimney structure/duct cover kit model IVCK. Other installations may require custom framing, etc. Consult a qualified installer.

1.Mark center lines of cooktop or range on ceiling above. Use centerlines marked on ceiling to position the mounting template. Location of front arrow on the template must point towards front of cooking surface. Mark mounting holes indicated on the template.

2.Remove and save template. Cut and remove ceiling drywall. Install suitable length 2" x 4" lumber between joists to provide chimney mounting points as shown in Fig. 2. Use template for dimensions and required clearance.

Make sure to affix the added lumber firmly and level. Consult a professional if you have difficulties or your installation is unique. Consult template and Fig. 2.

IMPORTANT:

The ceiling structure (joists and lumbers) must be capable of supporting the weight of the hood (approximately 110 lbs for 40” range hood and 143 lbs for 52” range hood) and any inadvertent user contact loads.

3.DUCT INSTALLATION

For IVS-52: Install 10” exhaust duct and extend length E minus 4-5/8” (E – 4-5/8”) from ceiling.

See Fig. 1. Do not use duct smaller than specified.

4.Install 1/2" electrical conduit in location marked on template and extend length E minus 3-1/8”

(E – 3-1/8”) from ceiling (use formula in Fig . 1).

5.Install drywall around duct and conduit; then refinish ceiling.

6.Tape template in place using centerlines marked in Step 1. Mark locations of mounting points. Remove template.
