Wind Crest WPN Always wear eye protection, NOTE VEN150E requires a 20 AMP Power Supply

SAFTY WARNING: Turn off power circuit at the service entrance and lockout panel before wiring the range hood.

BACKDRAFT DAMPER: It is recommended that a backdraft damper be used in all installations. In cold weather installations it is necessary to use a backdraft damper to minimize backflow of cold air into room. A non-metallic thermal break should also be used to minimize conduction of outside temperatures through the ductwork. The thermal break should be located as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.

NOTE: Unit must be vented to outside of the building.

Decide on vertical or horizontal air discharge. For vertical air discharge remove the top air discharge knockout plates. To remove, break the metal web holding plate by placing a screwdriver at one corner of plate and hitting screwdriver sharply with hammer. After breaking a second web the plate can be flexed to break remaining webs. For horizontal air discharge remove the air discharge knockout plates from the rear wall of the hood.

Always wear eye protection.

For a vertical air discharge, with the hood mounted under a cabinet (without duct cover), prepare cabinet for mounting the hood per FIG – 2. Use furring strips to level cabinet mounting surfaces with any cabinet trims.

For a vertical air discharge and use of the duct cover locate the prescribed ducting per FIG-3.Hood, ducting and wiring should be completed before mounting duct cover. See instructions included with duct cover for duct cover mounting.

For a horizontal air discharge refer to FIG- 4. NOTE: Wiring access is located on the top hood surface. See FIG-2for wiring access location.

Attach and secure the transition to the hood with #6 x 3/8” sheet metal screws and tape all joints prior to installing the hood. Attach hood to cabinet or wall using #10 wood screws. Holes are located in the back panel and top panel

of the hood for mounting. Use minimum of four (4) #10 x ¾” wood screws to mount the hood. Longer screws are

required if wallboard or other nonstructural surfaces are

used between the hood and main mounting surface which should be minimum of ¾” thick. When using rear holes for

mounting use proper anchors (#10) if not engaging the wood structure. Prepare cabinet for mounting the hood per FIG – 2. Use furring strips to level cabinet mounting surface with any cabinet trims.

HINT: If you find vibration noise is present because of Cabinet structure use additional screws, in holes available, to rigidize mounting.

Connect 120 volts – 15 amp, 60 Hz power supply through the conduit hole in the top of hood, connecting to pigtail in hood junction box white to white, black to black and connect green ground wire to power supply ground wire per local codes. The VEN100E/150E ventilator will require revision of some wiring in the hood receptacle box and possible modification of air discharge opening – See VEN100E/150E instructions.

NOTE: VEN150E requires a 20 AMP Power Supply

The recommended height from counter top or cooking surface to the bottom edge of the hood is 30 to 36 inches. Hood is recommended for use over domestic gas or electric appliances. Not recommended for use over solid fuel fire appliances

Vertical Air Discharge: After installing the hood, install the internal blower (see FIG – 1) unit by positioning the blower into bracket – A, notched blower bracket will center blower. Rotate into position against hood top and secure with #8 sheet metal screws via bracket – B. To ease assembly you should Predrive and then remove the #8 screw before installing the blower. Horizontal Air Discharge: Position blower into bracket – C, rotate brackets – B against top of hood and fasten per previous instructions. If the remote ventilator is used see related instructions.

CAUTION: The hood is of sufficient weight that two Installers are recommended to prevent injury or damage to the hood in handling.

Turn the power on at the service entrance and check the operation of the controls.

NOTE: Be sure that all dampers (Not Supplied) are operating properly and are free to open.
