INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PART 1: Planning the Installation
CAUTION:
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials
and vapors.
2. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the hood must be exhausted to
outside air. Never exhaust into a wall, an attic or a concealed area in the building. This
can create a potential hazard.
3. Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or qualified technician for proper installation of
exhaust ducting.
Code requirements must be observed whenever outdoor built-in gas appliances are installed.
Consult with local codes and ordinances regarding the application of your covered, outdoor
ventilation hood.
4. Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts, when possible.
5. Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short as possible. Where turns
are necessary, keep turning radius as large and as smooth as possible.
6. The ducting must be air tight. Use a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws at every duct joint.
Then, seal the duct joints with high quality duct tape.
7. Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by state, municipal and
local codes.
8. Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions
shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise specified.
IMPORTANT: If the DANVER® DOHC Series Range Hood is installed as a liner for a wood hood,
proper installation of the hood as a liner is directly related to the material from which the
custom canopy is constructed. You must provide structural framing and tight backing in the
areas in which you are securing the hood inside your custom canopy. Failure to do so could
distort and damage the hood and void the warranty.
WARNING! Following Are Manufacturer’s Suggestions. Always Observe Local Building Codes.
Hoods installed in custom canopies constructed of combustible materials should be installed
with the combustible material structure a minimum of 36” above the cooking surface. Hoods
installed in custom canopies constructed of non-combustible materials, should be installed
with the non-combustible material structure a minimum of 30” above the cooking surface.
Follow all instructions regarding minimum safe clearances and installation location. Failure to
do so may result in a safety hazard or fire. To reduce the risk of fire use only metal ductwork.

IMPORTANT: Hood is 1/8” narrower than widths shown below.
WARNING! The Following Are Manufacturer’s Suggestions. Always Observe Local Building
Codes. Hoods installed in custom canopies constructed of combustible materials should be
installed with the combustible material structure a minimum of 36” above the cooking
surface. Hoods installed in custom canopies constructed of non-combustible materials,
should be installed with the non-combustible material structure a minimum of 30” above the
cooking surface. Follow all instructions regarding minimum safe clearances and installation
location. Failure to do so may result in a safety hazard or fire. To reduce the risk of fire use
only metal ductwork.

PART 2: Electrical Connection
WARNING! Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before proceeding. Verify that the
power supply matches the ratings found on the appliance data label before proceeding. The
complete appliance must be properly grounded at all times when electrical power is applied.
Do not ground the appliance with the neutral (white) house supply wire. A separate ground
wire must be utilized. Failure to complete electrical connections properly may result in
damaged or non-functional systems. Follow instructions carefully to ensure proper
installation.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that a qualified person performs the electrical
connection of this appliance. The electrical installation, including minimum supply wire size,
must comply with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 (or latest revision) and
local codes and ordinances. A copy of this standard may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169-7471
Important Electrical Requirements: Observe all National and local governing codes and
ordinances. Have all electrical installation done by a qualified electrical installer. This Hood
requires a 120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical supply of an individual properly grounded branch
circuit protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker. The
DANVER® DOHC Series Range Hood is supplied with a 6.0 Amp three speed fan control.
Suitable for damp location when installed in a GFCI protected branch circuit.
Wiring Instructions:
There are 3 wires on the front panel that require connection. (See Diagram Below)
BLACK
120 VAC from electrical panel (usually black)
WHITE
Neutral from electrical panel (white)
GREEN
Ground from electrical panel (usually green)
CAUTION: The neutral wire (white) must only be connected to the white neutral wire coming in
from the electrical panel.

PART 3: Determining Direction of Vent and Securing the Hood
Mounting Holes:
Because the DANVER® DOHC Series Range Hood was designed for all applications, no mounting holes have been
pre-drilled. This allows for custom applications for mounting. The hood should be attached to the framing
through the top and back, whenever possible. Remove the filters. Mark and drill screw holes through the hood
as required. Secure the hood by driving screws (provided by others) through the screw holes.
NOTE: DRILLING THROUGH STAINLESS STEEL REQUIRES TITANIUM DRILL BITS. BE CAREFUL
NOT TO DRILL THROUGH THE UL LABEL OR INTO THE HOOD’S ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
Duct Cover:
•Drill 5/32” holes and install 4 brackets on hood with screws supplied.
•Mount 2 brackets to wall using customer supplied hardware. Centerline of holes is 2” less than width of
hood, so a 36” hood has a 34” hole spacing.
•Install Duct Cover over brackets.

Important. Make sure hood is square to wall.
CARE & CLEANING:
Operating Controls:
•Always activate the ventilator when using cooking appliances. Activate the ventilator a few minutes
before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern within the area.
•Adjust the fan speed as needed.
•Adjust the dimmable halogen lights as desired.
WARNING! Do NOT operate the blower / ventilator system without the filters in place, or
with dirty, grease laden filters.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS: Do not operate the blower at a speed higher than necessary to remove
the cooking exhaust. Turn off the unit once the smoke and cooking odors have been
eliminated. Clean filters and grease laden surfaces often to improve efficiency.
Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain performance and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation.
The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted according to the type and amount of use. Best results will be
achieved by cleaning soiled components as soon as possible. Filters must be cleaned regularly.
•Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and
dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Removal of Filters:
•Remove one filter at a time by firmly pressing the filter up, then slide toward the front.
•Slowly release the upward pressure and grasp the rear of the filter to remove it.
Cleaning of Filters:
•The filters may be cleaned by hand washing in hot water using a mild detergent solution, or by placing
them in a dishwasher. Dry the filters completely before using again.

Item #
OBL-00-008 Rev. 10-2017 Copyright ©2017 Danver, Inc.
Reinstallation of Filters:
•To reinstall the filter, place the front edge of the filter into the front filter bracket, press upward, and
then slide filter into the back-filter bracket. The commercial-style baffle filters should have the long slots
running front to back.
CAUTION: If a commercially available stainless-steel cleaner is used, it is important to read
the labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance. If these compounds are
present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Follow polish manufacturer’s
instructions. Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain.
Never wipe across the grain. After cleaning, reinstall the filters carefully. Most common
scrubber type pads will scratch the hood.
Halogen Light Bulbs:
Hoods are designed for PAR 20 halogen lamps.
Lamps can be purchased at most home supply and/or
grocery stores.
