VEN11NG 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 minimum to provide efficient performance. The
size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two
elbows together. Use ducttape to seal all joints in the ductwork
system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening
around the cap.
Flexibleductworkisnot recommended. Flexibleductwork
creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly
reduces performance.
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. For best
results, remote blowers should transition to 9" round duct
as soon as possible. If small ducting is used, it should be
transition to 9" round as soon as possible.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION
The standard installation for this rangehood is ducted to the outside of the house.
This range hood can also be installed as ductless which requires a Ductless
Conversion Kit
from the dealer. If desired, this rangehood can use an optional
remote blower. If the remote blower is used, the internal blower must be removed
and discarded. Both blowers cannot be used together. The remote blower connects
using a separate wiring cable not supplied with the unit and should be installed
at the same time as the ductwork.
The Isola chimney is adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling heights as
indicated in FIGURE 1. The chimney can be adjusted for ceilings between 7' 10
7/8" and 9' 3" depending on the distance between the bottom of the hood and
the cooktop (distancexin FIGURE 1). For shorter ceilings, the entire chimney
support (T in FIGURE 2) must be recessed up into the ceiling. For higher ceilings,
build a solid structure down and attach the chimney support to this structure.

ATTACHING THE CHIMNEY
The rangehood attaches to the ceiling by a support inside the chimney (1) as
illustated in FIGURE 2. This support must be attached to the ceiling before the
canopy is attached to this support. Since this structure supports the weight of the
canopy, it must be firmly attached to the ceiling. FOR CONCRETE CEILINGS
- Use inserts and screws provided. FOR WOOD CEILINGS - Use four 4" long
wood screws. FOR PLASTER OR SHEET ROCK CEILINGS - If possible, the
support must be attached to the ceiling jOists. If not, a supporting structure
behind the sheet rock must be built.
CALCULATE THE DUCTRUN LENGTH
The ductrun should not exceed 35 equivalent
45' Elbow
3.0 feet
feet if ducted with the required minimum of 3 1/4"
90' Elbow 5.0 feet
by 10" rectangular duct and 55 equivalent feet if
90' Flat Elbow 12.0 feet
ducted with gil round ductwork (Remote blowers

require 9" round duct). Calculate the length of
FIGURE 3
the ductwork by adding the equivalent feet in
FIGURE 3 for each piece of duct in the system.
9 Feet Straight Duct 9.0 feet
An example is given in FIGURE 4.
2-90' Elbows 10.0 feet
Wall Cap 0.0 feet
For best results, use no more than three 900
elbows. Make surethat there isaminimum of
Total System 19.0 feet
24ft of straight duct between elbows if more
FIGURE 4
than
one is used. Do not install two elbows
together. If
you must elbow right away, do it
as far away from thehood'sexhaust opening
Version 05/04 - Page 4
as possible.

A WARNING
DUE TO THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THIS RANGEHOOD, THE SUPPORT MUST BE FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE
CEILING. For plaster or sheet rock ceilings, the support must be attached to the jOists. If this is not possible, a support
structure must be built behind the plaster or sheet rock. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for injury or damage
caused by improper installations.
ATTACH THE SUPPORT
1. 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 center on
the ceiling where the rangehood will be installed.
3. A template for
mounting the support is
supplied in the carton
with the support. Use
this template to mark
holes for support on the
ceiling. The chimney
must
be disassembled
as indicated in FIGURE
5 to reveal the support.
Before disassembling
the chimney, remove all
screws (3 ).
4. Determine and make all necessary cuts for the ductwork.
Install damper when connecting ductwork. Install ductwork
before mounting the support. The damper attaches to the
inside bottom ofthechimney support structure. It is necessary
to attach your ductwork to this damper and run the ductwork
inside the chimney support structure.
5. Determine the proper location for the Power Supply
Cable as indicated on the template. Use a1 1/4" Drill Bit to
make this hole. Run the Power Supply Cable. Use caulking
to seal around the hole. DO NOT turn on the power until
installation iscomplete!
Two knockouts are provided near
the exhaust exit on the canopy. One is for the Power Supply
Cable and one for an optional remote blower. Make sure that
you use the correct knockout.
6. Attach the support to the ceiling. Make sure that the
support is firmly connected to the ceiling. The height of
the canopy can be adjusted by changing the length of the
FIGURES
support.
Adjust the support length
by loosening the four set
screws (V in FIGURE 6).
The bottom of the canopy
will be approximately 10 1/4
inches below the bottom of the
support. Makesurethatallfour
set screws are firmly tightened
before attaching the canopy. To
prevent damage, the support
must be adjusted BEFORE
attaching the canopy.
FIGURE 6
INSTALL THE RANGEHOOD
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. Remove the grease
filters and set aside. The
grease filters are removed by
preSSing the handle in front
of the filter as indicated in
FIGURE 7. When replacing,
make sure the filters are
properly positioned with the
handles visible in front.
FIGURE 7
3. Remove the cover from the field wiring compartment.
Remove the wiring electrical knockout using a flat-blade
screwdriver.
4. The canopy attaches
to the support by four bolts
located next to the duct
exhaust opening. Loosen
the four bolts so that there
is approximately 1/4" space
between the bolt head and
the canopy. FIGURE8shows
how the canopy attaches to
the support.
FIGURE 8
5. Lift the canopy and insert the bolts into the slots on
the support. TIghten the four bolts. Due to the weight of the
rangehood, two people should lift it to avoid injuries. Make
sure that the bolts are properly seated in the slots and fully
tightened.
6. Connect the Power Supply Cable to the rangehood.
Attach the White lead of the power supply to the White lead
of the rangehood with a twist-on type wire connector. Attach
the Black lead of the power supply to the Black lead of the
rangehood with a twist-on type wire connector. Connect the
Green ( Green and Yellow) ground wire under the Green
grounding screw.
If your installation uses an optional remote blower, connect
the wiring cable for the blower. DO NOT CONNECT THE
REMOTE BLOWER DIRECTLY TO THE POWER SUPPLY
CABLE IN THE FIELD WIRING COMPARTMENT.
7. Replace the wiring compartment cover and grease
filters.

For ductless installations:
Ductless installations require a Ductless Conversion Kit.
This kit consists of two lower chimney covers with holes for
the exhaust air, a ductless diverter, two grids to cover the
holes in the chimney cover, two charcoal filters. The ductless
diverter must be installed before the lower chimney covers
are attached as in FIGURE 9. The chimney covers without
holes should be discarded. Once the lower chimney covers
with holes are installed, the grids are inserted into the holes
as illustrated in FIGURE 10.
FIGURE 9
FIGURE 10
8. Attach the chimney cover to the support. The chimney
cover is supplied in two sections with each section having two
pieces. The upper section of the chimney cover (S) must be
installed first, then the lower section (I). FIGURES 11 and
12 illustrate the attachment of the chimney cover. The lower
section fits over the upper section. Once the covers are in the
final position, screws are used to secure the top and bottom
of each cover to the support.
FIGURE 11
