Safety Practices & Precautions
This euro hood system is designed to remove smoke,cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop
area.
WARNING: ALLWALL AND FLOOR OPENINGSWHERETHE EURO HOOD IS INSTALLED MUST
BE SEALED.
Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any
cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION-The installation of this euro hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards,Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,Title 24,HUD, Part 280). Four wire power supply
must be used and the appliance wiring must be revised. See Electrical Requirements.
• Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.
• DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.
• DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.
• Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.
• Electrical ground is required on this euro hood.
• If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic,non-metallic gaskets or other materials,DO NOT use for
grounding.
• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit
could result in electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the euro hood is properly
grounded.
• Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.
WARNING: TO REDUCETHE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,OR INJURYTO PERSONS,
OBSERVETHE FOLLOWING:
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service discon-
necting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device,such as a tag, to the
service panel. InstallationWork And ElectricalWiring Must Be Done By Qualified Person(s) In
AccordanceWith AllApplicable Codes And Standards, Including Fire-Rated Construction. Sufficient air
is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning
equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating,Refrigeration andAir Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local

VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through
the wall or the roof. The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a mini-
mum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install
two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal
exterior wall or floor opening around the cap. Flexible ductwork is not recommended. If it is used,
each foot of flexible ductwork used is equivalent to two feet of straight metal ductwork when calculat-
ing the duct run length. Thus,a flexible elbow equals two standard elbows. Make sure there is proper
clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. 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.
WARNING: TO REDUCETHE RISK OF FIRE,USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 120 volt,60 Hz AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 15 amp circuit,fused on both
sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse must be sized per
local codes in accordance with the electrical rating of this unit as specified on the serial/rating plate
located inside the unit near the field wiring compartment.
THIS UNIT MUST BE CONNECTEDWITH COPPERWIRE ONLY. Wire sizes must conform to the require-
ments of the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA 70 -latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
Wire size and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance. This appliance should be
connected directly to the fuse disconnect (or circuit breaker) through flexible, armored or non-metallic
sheathed copper cable. Allow some slack in the cable so the appliance can be moved if servicing is
ever necessary. A UL Listed, 1/2" conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply
cable (at the appliance and at the junction box). When making the electrical connection,cut a 1 1/4"
hole in the wall. A hole cut through wood must be sanded until smooth. A hole through metal must
have a grommet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DONOT use this fan with any solid state speed
control device.
CAUTION: For GeneralVentilating Use Only.Do Not UseTo Exhaust Hazardous or Explosive
Materials andVapors.

This euro hood can be installed with (Fig. 03) or without (Fig.04) an optional telescopic chimney kit
(model #ECD-2SS). In a ducted application, this euro hood can be vented through the wall or ceiling.
To vent through a wall,a 900elbow is used. When installing ductless with a chimney kit,the euro hood
vents out of grates on the sides of the ductless chimney kit (model #ECND-2SS). This ductless instal-
lation also requires a charcoal filter kit (model #ECF). When installing ductless without the optional
chimney kit,some ductwork must be installed to divert the air out of the cabinet. This installation
requires charcoal filter kit (model #ECF). See page 11 for more details on all ductless installations.
WARNING: Before making any cuts or holes for installation. Determine which venting method will be
used and carefully calculate all measurements.
Standard installation for the euro hood requires the canopy to be mounted 30” above the countertop
(Fig.05a). The optional telescopic chimney kit can be adjusted for ceilings between eight 8’ 2” and 9’ 8”
(Fig 05b).

CALCULATETHE DUCT RUN LENGTH
The duct run should not exceed 35 feet if ducted six inch (6”) round ductwork. Calculate the length
of the ductwork by adding the equivalent feet in fig.06 for each piece of duct in the system an example
is given in fig.07. For best results, use no more than three 900 elbows. Make sure that there is a
minimum of 24” of straight duct between elbows if more than one is used. Do not install two
elbows together.
WARNING: Personal injury hazard due to the weight and size of the euro hood canopy,two or
more people are needed to move and safely install the euro hood canopy. Failure to
properly lift euro hood could result in damage to the product or personal injury.
WALL PREPARATION
WARNING: The screws provided for mounting this euro hood must be inserted into solid wood. These
must not be inserted into sheet rock.
1) Disconnect and move freestanding range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to upper
cabinet and rear wall. Put a thick,protective covering over cooktop, set-in range or countertop to
protect from damage or dirt.
2) Determine and clearly mark with a pencil the centerline on the wall where the euro hood will be
installed.
3)The euro hood attaches to the wall by mounting screws. For the 30" and 36" models,there are two
mounting screws. Install the screws into the wall. The screws should be inserted into the wall
until the screw head is flush with the wall.
4)The optional chimney kit is adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling heights. The chimney
attaches to the wall by two additional brackets. The top bracket should be installed about 1/8”
away from the ceiling. The middle bracket must be installed at the bottom point of the upper
chimney sleeve. Determine the proper location for each bracket and install the brackets on the
wall. Attach the bottom of the lower chimney to the canopy using the screws provided.
CAUTION: Make sure that the screws and brackets are securely fastened to the wall.

5) Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the ductwork. Each euro hood is shipped
from the factory vented through the top. In order to vent to the rear, ductwork must run first
vertical then elbow to the back. The dimensions for the duct openings are given in Fig. 02.
Install all ductwork before installing the euro hood.
6) Determine the proper location for the power supply cable as indicated in Fig. 2a & 2b. DO NOT
turn on the power until installation is complete.
INSTALLINGTHE EURO HOOD
1) Remove the unit from the carton and place on a flat
surface for assembly. Cover the surface to prevent
accidental damage. Remove all parts including the
mounting hardware before discarding the carton.
2)

Pull knob forward (towards you) and turn to the left at
same time.
3) Remove the cover from the field wiring compartment. Remove the wiring electrical knockout using
a flat-blade screwdriver. Feed the power supply cable through the electrical knockout.
4)The canopy attaches to the wall by two screws discussed earlier in the installation instructions. The
canopy hangs from these screws by brackets inside the euro hood shown in Fig.08. Before
attempting to hang the canopy,you should rotate the adjustment screw markedV1 in Fig.08
counter clockwise to extend the brackets from the canopy. Using a Phillips head screwdriver,rotate
this screw counter clockwise to extend the bracket.
5) Install the damper before hanging the euro hood. The damper attaches to the euro hood by two
small screws provided in the hardware package.
6) Hang the euro hood canopy from the screws. Due to the weight of the canopy,these screws
must be installed into solid material! Once the canopy is hung,rotate the screw markedV1 to
secure the euro hood to the wall.
NOTE: Make sure that the euro hood is securely attached to the wall! Failure to properly install could
result in injury or damage to property.

9) Replace the field wiring compartment cover and the grease filters.
To install grease filter: Put the end of grease filter without the knob into the channel in the
front of hood. Turn knob to the left so the lever does not protrude from filter. Insert knob end of
grease filter into the channel in the back of the hood. Turn knob to the right, locking filter in place.
10)Turn the power supply on.Turn on blower and light. The euro hood controls are located on the
right-hand side under the canopy. If the euro hood does not operate,check that the circuit breaker
is not tripped or the house fuse blown If the unit still does not operate, disconnect the power
supply and check that the wiring connections have been made properly.
DUCTLESS INSTALLATION KITS
The euro hood can be installed ductless in both chimney and no
chimney (under cabinet) installation. To install ductless in a chimney
installation,you must have the ductless chimney kit (model #ECND-
2SS) fig.09 and the charcoal filter kit (model #ECF) fig.11. To install
ductless in a no chimney installation (under cabinet) fig.10 you must
have the charcoal filter kit fig. 11.
The ductless chimney kit consists of an upper chimney (not pictured),
a lower chimney (A) with two holes for the exhaust air, a ductless
diverter (B) which sits on the canopy of the hood and diverts the air
to the sides of the chimney,and two vent grates (C) to cover the
holes in the lower chimney.
The charcoal filter kit contains two charcoal filters which twist onto
either side of the blower inside the euro hood.
When installing ductless without the optional chimney kit,some
ductwork must be installed to divert the air either out of the top of
the cabinet or to the face of the soffit. The duct work can not
terminate inside the cabinet or into any dead air space.
