CAUTION:
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials or vapors.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oil slowly on low or medium settings.
B. Always turn venthood “ON” when cooking at high heat or when flambeing foods (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface unit.
Make-Up air may be necessary to prevent air flowing down chimney, or through unsealed door,
window, or fireplace opening.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, observe the
following guidelines.
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact
the manufacturer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
C. Installation and electrical wiring must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with
all applicable codes & standards, including fire-rated construction.
D. To prevent backdrafting, sufficient air is needed to maintain proper combustion and safe
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturers guideline and safety standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating,Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
E. Use caution when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings as not to damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air to
outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling, nor into
attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
NOTE: Unit MUST be vented to the outside of the building.
IMPORTANT: Refer to ducting information supplied in this manual.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock or injury to persons, all vent hoods must
be installed with ventilators that have been approved for use with the hood.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal duct work.
Install this hood in accordance with all requirements specified.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this hood with any
external solid state speed control device.

BEFORE INSTALLING HOOD
1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
CAUTION:
Vent unit to outside of building only.
2. Two people are necessary for installation.
3. The hood is fitted with screws suitable for most surfaces. Consult a qualified installer. Check if they
perfectly fit with your ceiling.
4. Do not use flex ducting.
5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize
back flow of cold air and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temper-
atures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side (outside wall) of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the
house.
6. Hood installation height above cooktop/range is the user’s preference. Lower installation heights
will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking odors,grease,and smoke. These hoods have been
approved for installation heights 30” and above the cooktop/ranges. Taller people may find a 30”
installation height is inconvenient. DCS recommends an installation height between 30”and 36”.
7. For installation over DCS range and cooktop models RGS-364GL or CS-364GL, the IVS52 model
venthood is recommended.
8. 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.

BEFORE INSTALLING HOOD
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
A typical hood installation is shown below in Figure 1. When installed with the IVCK chimney
accessory kit, the hood can be installed at a height of 30” to 36” in kitchens with ceiling heights
ranging from 8-1/2 to 10 feet. Installatons outside this range will require custom framing. Consult a
qulified installer for a custom framing solution.
DUCTING
Provide a 10” Round Duct. Ducting run cannot exceed 40 feet, including allowance for elbows/transi-
tions.
ELECTRICAL
Install a 1/2” conduit from the service panel long enough to reach the hood once it is installed.
Power supply must be rated for 120V 60Hz, 15 amps (minimum).
INSTALLATION HEIGHT CALCULATIONS
See Figure 1.
a) Select a hood installation height C that is comfortable for the user. (30”to 36”
recommended, 30” minimum).
b) Calculate chimney cover height E using fomrula below.
Save this calculation for use later in the installation.
A = Kitchen Ceiling Height
B= Counter Height (36" standard)
C= Installation Height of Hood.
D= Canopy Height = 13”
E= Chimney cover height = A – B – C – D
NOTE: Chimney cover height can be adjusted
from 24-1/2" to 36" to meet your desired
hood installation height.

BEFORE INSTALLING HOOD
CEILING PREPARATION
Installing supports above ceiling drywall.
NOTE: Take into consideration the hood depth; some models are much deeper than the cooktop.
NOTE: The following steps pertain to hood installation using chimney structure/duct cover kit
model IVCK. Other installations may require custom framing, etc. Consult a qualified
installer.
1. Mark center lines of cooktop or range on ceiling above. Use
centerlines marked on ceiling to position the mounting
template. Location of front arrow on the template must point
towards front of cooking surface. Mark mounting holes
indicated on the template.
2. Remove and save template. Cut and remove ceiling drywall.
Install suitable length 2" x 4" lumber between joists to provide
chimney mounting points as shown in Fig. 2. Use template for
dimensions and required clearance.
Make sure to affix the added lumber firmly and level. Consult a
professional if you have difficulties or your installation is
unique. Consult template and Fig. 2.
IMPORTANT:
The ceiling structure (joists and lumbers)
must be capable of supporting the weight
of the hood (approximately 110 lbs for 40”
range hood and 143 lbs for 52” range
hood) and any inadvertent user contact
loads.
3. DUCT INSTALLATION
For IVS-52: Install 10” exhaust duct and extend length
E minus 4-5/8” (E – 4-5/8”) from ceiling.
See Fig. 1. Do not use duct smaller than specified.
4. Install 1/2" electrical conduit in location marked on template
and extend length E minus 3-1/8”
(E – 3-1/8”) from ceiling (use formula in Fig . 1).
5. Install drywall around duct and conduit; then refinish ceiling.
6. Tape template in place using centerlines marked in
Step 1. Mark locations of mounting points. Remove template.
