Cabinet Preparation for
Hood Support
We recommend that after nstallat on the bottom of the hood
should be no less than 20” and no more than 30” above the
stove’s heat ng elements or burners.
1. If the bottom of the cupboard s recessed above the bottom of
the cupboard door, then t w ll be necessary to attach wood str ps
to the bottom of the cupboard n the locat on where the range
hood w ll mount.
2. By us ng a template or by measurement, transfer the proper
locat on to nstall the wood str ps on the bottom of the cab net.
The wood str ps should l ne up w th the 4 keyhole slots on the
top of the range hood.
Ducting and Electrical
Knockout Preparation
DQ Ser es range hoods are fully convert ble
for vert cal, hor zontal or ductless operat on
(F g. 2). Your range hood s suppl ed w th a
31/4” x 10” damper frame for a trans t on
p ece from the hood to the duct ng. Below s
a br ef duct ng nstallat on descr pt on. Your
nstallat on w ll depend on whether there s
ex st ng duct ng or the ease of nstall ng a
duct ng run.
Vertical
Vert cal s the most common. If your k tchen has an att c space
above, the duct ng may be run up through the cupboard and att c
to a roof cap. If your k tchen has a soff t above the cupboards,
you may run the duct up nto the soff t and then d scharge
hor zontally through the outs de wall to a wall cap.
Horizontal
If the range hood s located aga nst an outs de wall, hor zontal
d scharge s preferred prov ded there are no obstruct ons, such as
wall jo sts or a place where open ngs are d ff cult to make.
Ductless
In a ductless nstallat on the a r s re-c rculated back nto the
k tchen. Th s method s energy eff c ent because you are not
exhaust ng cond t oned a r, however the a r del very w ll be
somewhat less. If you do not ant c pate heavy cook ng th s
method may be preferred. It w ll not be necessary to remove any
duct knockouts, however you w ll have to remove the range
hood’s vent nsert (f g. 3). You should use the 2 Charcoal/Grease
f lters (part CF-01 for 30” – not suppl ed) to help remove
cook ng odours. The charcoal/grease f lters may be purchased
through your reta ler, wholesaler, or d rectly through A r K ng.
These f lters are not d shwasher safe and must be replaced at
regular ntervals, depend ng on use.
Figure 3
Electrical Knockout
The preferred locat on for the electr cal connector, vert cal or
hor zontal, w ll depend on ex st ng nstallat on or ease of rout ng
w r ng. All electr cal connect ons must comply w th nat onal and
local codes. Transfer the locat on of the selected range hood
knockouts to the bottom of the cupboard or onto the wall, then cut
or dr ll a hole to allow for clearance of the electr cal cable clamp.
Be careful not to cut nto any h dden ut l t es, such as electr cal
w res.
Once you have planned your duct ng and electr cal nstallat on,
you can prepare the hood by remov ng the appropr ate knockouts
and attach ng the damper frame and an approved electr cal
connector (not suppl ed).
Removing Duct Electrical Knockouts
and Damper Frame Installation
1. To remove the selected duct knockout, pry up the edge of the
knockout area and sn p or break the attachment po nts (f g. 4).
