• At least two people are necessary for installation.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
• Do not use flex ducting.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal duct work.
• To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this range hood only with integral, in line, and
external blower models rated maximum 7.6 A/ 913 W.
• Vent unit to outside of building, only.
• 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.
• Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted
Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from
locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.
Installation Requirements
Installation Preparation
• Determine which venting system to use: roof or wall.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the
exhaust vent.
• Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a
supporting frame must be constructed.
• Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum, to ensure the selected range hood
will fit. See “Determining Hood Height”.
• Anchors and screws are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the
type of wall/ceiling.
• Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood and place a protective covering over
the surface.
– Use two (2) or more people to lift the range hood onto the prepared surface.

AVALLON.COM 13
®
• For gas cooktop & range installations:
Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 30” (76.2 cm) above the cooking surface.
• For electric/induction cooktop & range installations:
Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 24” (61 cm) above the cooking surface.
There is no maximum mounting height, however, we recomend mounting the hood no greater than
36” (91.4 cm) above the cooking surface.
For every inch (2.54 cm) above 36” (91.4 cm), fume and moisture capture efficiency diminishes at an
increasing rate and may not deliver an acceptable level of ventilating performance.
Determining Hood Height
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. The lower the hood is above the
cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of cooking odors, grease, and smoke.

• For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
– If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from hood duct output and as far apart,
between the two as possible.
• Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
• Vent unit to outside of building only.
• 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.
• Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted
Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from
locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.
Avallon offers a CMF reduction bypass kit as an alternative to make-up air.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the
exhaust vent.
• Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a
supporting frame must be constructed.

STEP 1. Install The Hood Upper Mounting Screws
1. Mark a centerline on the wall where the range hood will be installed.
2. Mark a reference line on the wall for the range hood height above the cooktop. The line marks
the bottom edge of the hood.
3. Tape the mounting template in place, aligning the template with the marked centerline and
hood height reference line.
4. Mark the centers of the fastener locations on the wall, through the template.
5. Remove the template.
6. Drill 3/16” (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws are being installed into wood.
7. Install the two (2) - 5 x 45 mm mounting screws. Leave a 1⁄4” (6.4 mm) gap between the wall
and the back of the screw head to slide range hood into place.
IMPORTANT:
All screws must be installed into wood. If there is no wood to screw into, additional wall
framing supports may be required. See “Install Hood Framing Support”.
IMPORTANT:
Wall anchors can also be used to attach the range hood, according to local codes, but
need to support 100 lbs (46kg).
Failure to use suitable wall anchors and screws to hold the weight of the hood could
result in personal injury or damage to cooking surface or counter.

Install hood framing support (Optional)
1. If drywall is present, mark the upper screw hole locations using the template.
2. Cut away enough drywall to expose two (2) vertical studs where the holes are marked or should
be located.
3. Install two (2) horizontal supports at least 4” x 2” (102mm x 51mm) between the two studs, flush
with the room side of the studs.
Make sure to install the upper horizontal support where the upper mounting screws should
be located and the lower horizontal support where the lower mounting screws should be.
To determine where the lower mounting screw holes go, you will need to temporarily mount
the hood on the upper screws, then mark the location of the lower screws through the lower
hood. See “Step 3. Install the Range Hood.”
Use cleats behind both sides of the supports to secure them to the wall studs.
4. Reinstall the drywall.
Framing support may need to be added if studs are not available behind the drywall or the supplied
screws and anchors are determined to be inadequate to support at least 100 lbs.
IMPORTANT:
Framing must be capable of supporting 100 lbs (46kg).
