The vent hood must be installed above the cooking surface at
30” (minimum) if a gas range is used or from 24” (minimum)
to 30” if an electric range is used.
If the customer needs that the duct cover reaches from 8’ to
10’ ceilings height, then an additional telescopic duct
cover accessory is needed.
The hood may be installed onto a wall and vented to the out-
doors, or it can be installed for recirculating operation
(recirculating accessories not supplied with the hood).
This hood must not be installed over any professional cooktop
/ range.
Installation 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. For
satisfactory performance duct run should not exceed
100’ equivalent length for any duct configurations.
Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the maximum
permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors.
Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the exterior
opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any transition
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.
If mounting on dry wall, 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 locate the
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
CAUTION:
Remove the carton carefully. Wear gloves to
protect against sharp edges.
WARNING:
Remove the protective film covering the product
before putting into operation.

Installation Instructions
Ductwork and wiring locations
Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
Locate the template packed with the literature.
The height installation is determined by the following
image. Mark the location.
Installation height: 30” (minimum) gas cooktop/range or
24” (minimum) to 30” electric cooktop/range.
Use a level to draw a horizontal straight pencil line on the
wall, which is your desired installation height.
Find the centerline of the cooktop. Use a level to draw a
vertical straight pencil line on the wall.
CHECK TO BE SURE THE LINE IS PERFECTLY
PERPENDICULAR.
Mounting the duct cover bracket
Option A - Fixed height duct cover
From the horizontal line traced in the previous section,
trace a horizontal parallel line as shown below.
Center the bracket in the top horizontal line and align it
with the centerline, as described in the following drawing.
Mark screw holes locations in the wall.
