Installation
1) | General Information | Electrical Requirement: 120V AC, 60Hz. 15A Branch Circuit. |
|
| The hood is equipped with an internal blower. It is not designed for use with a |
|
| remote blower. |
|
| The hood must be ducted to the outside. It is not designed for use with a recircula- |
|
| tion unit and/or charcoal filters. |
|
| For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight duct run or as few elbows as |
|
| possible. |
|
| Do not use flex ducting. Always use metal ductwork with minimum diameter of 6”. |
|
| A transition is necessary to connect to larger diameter ductwork or to square duct- |
|
| work. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Always install a metal vent cover where the ductwork exits the house. |
|
| Hood installation height above cooktop is the user’s preference. The lower the |
|
| hood above the cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of cooking odors, |
|
| grease, and smoke. This hood has been approved for installations as low as 30” |
|
| and as high as 36” above the cooktop. The lower height may be inconvenient for |
|
| tall people and large cooking vessels. |
|
| In addition, the chimney sections, when fully extended, measure 42 3/4” tall. In |
|
| order for the upper chimney section to meet the ceiling, the highest allowable ceil- |
|
| ing height is 9 1/2’ (assumes the hood is installed 36” above the cooktop). |
|
| |
|
| when using ducted ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air move- |
|
| ment. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC profes- |
|
| sional for specific requirements in your area. |
2) | Unpack Hood | Pull hood from outer packaging. Remove and discard all packaging materials. |
3) | Prepare ductwork | Install one way damper as shown in Figure 1. If necessary, install transition, ther- |
|
| mal break and additional backdraft damper. |
