Step 4: Install Ductwork (Remote Blower, If Used)

A.Install the ductwork and remote blower (if used) in accordance with the ductwork routing plan developed in Step 1.

B.Make sure that the installation complies with all installations guidelines. Also check that the opening where duct passes through outside wall or roof has been properly flashed and sealed to prevent leakage.

C.If using Integral Blower, Model VTN600CV2C, proceed to Step 5.

D.If using Remote Blower Model VTI610D or VTR630D, refer to Installation Instructions with that model.

Step 5: Install Electrical Service

Check your local building codes for proper method of installation. In the U.S., if there are no applicable local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, Current Issue. (In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN 1-B149.1 and .2-Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or lodal codes).

The appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING – Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

The receptacle should be located under the countertop so that the 30 inch long power cord from the vent will reach it.

See Figure 9. The cord should be routed beneath the appliance and away from heat generated by the cooktop. Access should not be obstructed by blower, cabinet work, ductwork or electrical/gas utilities for the cooktop. All power for the vent system (including the remote blower, if used) is supplied via the cord to the intake unit. The outlet can usually be extended from another kitchen outlet or have its own circuit from the main service panel.

Do not plug vent cord into receptacle until Step 8.

Step 6: Mount Vent and Cooktop

A.Remove grease filters and any packing materials from inside the intake.

B.Set the vent intake into rear of countertop opening. Carefully lower it into position so that the flanges on the rear sides and edges fully support the unit hanging from the coluntertop.

C.Hold the unit against the rear of the countertop opening, and slide the leg brackets down to meet the bottom of cabinet. Check and adjust for plumb, then fasten leg brackets to cabinet with hardware provided.

D.Place the cooktop in countertop opening with the rear edge of cooktop overlapping the front edge of the vent. Make sure rear edge of cooktop does not bind against front of snorkel. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions for installing gasket strips, protective heat tape (if required), securing the cooktop to the countertop and making the cooktop electrical and/or gas connections.
