• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back-drafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards, such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Associa-
tion (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Re-
frigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
and the local code authorities.
• When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted systems must always be vented to the out-
doors.
• Local codes vary. Installation of electrical connections
and grounding must comply with applicable codes.
In the absence of local codes, the vent should be in-
stalled in accordance with National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 or latest edition.

Advance Planning
DUCTWORK PLANNING FOR VENTED
MODE
• This vent hood is designed to be installed beneath a
cabinet or beneath a cabinet mounted to a soffit.
• This hood is designed for 8” round ducting. The
8” round duct can transition to 3-1/4” x 10” or
3-1/4” x 12”.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors
considering any transitions you may require.
•
Use locally supplied ducting to vent horizontally
through the rear wall or vertically through the
ceiling.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run
should not exceed 100’ equivalent length for any
duct configurations.
• Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct runs to
the outdoors.
• Install a wall or roof cap with damper at the exte-
rior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any
transition and length of duct needed in advance
from a local hardware store.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Wall or ceiling duct must be projected out at least
1” for duct connection.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
• For better air flow results, use rigid metal ductwork.
DUCTWORK PLANNING FOR
RECIRCULATION MODE
All parts are included to install in recirculation mode.
MOUNTING FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORT
• The hood must be secured to vertical studs in the
wall. See the Wall or Ceiling and Cabinet Preparation
section for vented or recirculationg installation.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood be on
-site to accurately locate the ductwork and electri-
cal service.
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is in-
stalled before the cooktop and countertop are
installed.
IMPORTANT: The vent hood must be secured
to the cabinet and at least two wall studs and
dry wall with anchors. The cabinet must be ca-
pable of supporting 100 lbs.

DUCT FITTINGS
This Hood Must Use an
8” Round Duct. It Can
Transition to 3-1/4” x 10”
or 3-1/4” x 12” Duct.
Use this chart to compute maxi-
mum permissible lengths
for duct runs to outdoors.
NOTE: Do not exceed maximum
permissible equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length:
100 foot for range hoods.
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting is used,
all the equivalent feet values in
the table should be doubled.
The flexible metal duct should
be straight and smooth and ex-
tended as much as possible.
DO NOT use flexible plastic
ducting.
NOTE: Any home ventilation
system, such as a ventilation
hood, may interrupt the proper
flow of combustion air and
exhaust required by fireplaces,
gas furnaces, gas water heat-
ers and other naturally vented
systems.
To minimize the chance of
interruption of such naturally
vented systems, follow the heat-
ing equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by
NFPA and ASHRAE.

Installation Preparation
DETERMINE INSTALLATION HEIGHT
This hood can be installed for vented or recirculating
operation. All necessary parts are shipped with the hood
for recirculation mode.
NOTE: Installation height should be measured from
the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood.
The vent hood must be installed 24″ min. and
36″ max. above the cooking surface.
Recirculation Mode
You must use the riser with louvers facing the front
side with recirculation mode. The hood height with
the riser is 14”. Do not knock out the duct opening
on the riser.

To determine the distance between the bottom of
the hood and the cooking surface (Min 24”, Max. 36”
use the following formula to solve for X:
X = C - (A + B + R + Y + Z) where
A = Cooking surface to the floor
B = Hood height without riser
C = Ceiling height
R = Riser height (must be used with recirculation
mode, optional for vent mode)
Y = Cabinet height
Z = Soffit/Gap between the cabinet and ceiling (may
be “0”)
Example: X = 96” - (36” + 10 1/2” + 3 1/2” + 15” + 6”)
X = 25”
DO NOT knock out
the duct opening for

Installation Preparation
Vent Mode
In vent mode, installation can be done with or with-
out the riser. You must consider 3 1/2” riser height in
determining the hood installation height.
To determine the hood installation height with riser:
X = C - (A + B + R + Y + Z)
Example: X = 96” - (36” + 10 1/2” + 3 1/2” + 15” + 6”)
X = 25”
To determine the hood installation height without
riser:
X = C - (A + B + Y + Z)
Example: X = 96” - (36” + 10 1/2” + 24” + 0”)
X = 25 1/2”
NOTE: Installation height should be measured from
the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood. The
vent hood must be installed 24” min. and 36” max.
above the cooking surface. The hood installation
height, from the cooking surface to the bottom of the
hood, depends upon ceiling height and other factors
which must be considered .

Installation Instructions
DUCTWORK, WIRING LOCATIONS
Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Locate the template packed with the literature.
– Measure 36” from the floor to the top of the cook-
ing surface. Add hood installation height deter-
mined on previous pages. Mark that location.
–
Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the wall.
– Tape the template in position along the penciled
line. CHECK TO BE SURE THE TEMPLATE IS LEVEL.
Cabinet/Ceiling ducting:
If ductwork will vent straight up to the ceiling or
cabinet:
• Use a level to draw a line straight up, from the cen-
terline on the template to the ceiling/cabinet.
• Measure 6-5/8″ from the back wall to the centerline
of an 8-1/2″ hole on the ceiling/cabinet top.
NOTE: If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness
to the 6-5/8″ dimension.
Wall Ducting:
If ductwork will vent to the rear:
• Use a level to draw a line straight up from the
centerline on the template.
• Measure at least 8 1/4" above the hood chassis
top surface location shown on the template to the
centerline of a 8-1/2″-dia. duct hole. (Hole may be
elongated for duct elbow.)

FOR REAR WALL DUCTING
Determine the cabinet center line.
If the hood is mounted with the riser:
• Cut a 14” diameter hole in the cabinet bottom.
• Cut an 8-1/2” diameter hole in the cabinet rear
wall. You may need to add ducting between the
hood exhaust outlet and the elbow.
If the hood is mounted without the riser:
• Cut a 10” diameter hole in the cabinet bottom.
• Cut the location of the 8-1/2” diameter hole in the
cabinet rear wall. You may need to add ducting
between the hood exhaust outlet and the elbow,
depending on the location planned for the rear wall
exit.
• Depending on cabinet height, you may need to
shorten the height of the 8” elbow.
FOR CEILING DUCTING
If the hood is mounted with the riser:
• Cut a 14” diameter hole in the cabinet bottom.
• Cut an 8-1/2” diameter hole in the cabinet top and
ceiling 6-5/8” from wall.
If the hood is mounted without the riser:
• Cut a 10” diameter hole in the cabinet bottom
6- 5/8” from the wall.
• Cut an 8-1/2” diameter hole in the cabinet top
6-5/8” from the wall and one in the ceiling 6-5/8”
from wall.
NOTE: Any exposed ducting needs to be covered us-
ing your preferred method.

MOUNTING HOOD TO BOTTOM OF
CABINET
Mounting hood to the bottom of the cabinet is dependent
on your cabinet. For non-flush bottom cabinets, two (2) 4”
wide (length and thickness depend on your cabinet) solid
wooden fillers are required on the left and right sides of
lower cabinet as shown in the picture. Use shims if neces-
sary to make the wooden fillers flush.
NOTE: When securing wooden fillers to cabinet, be
sure to consider hood mounting screw locations on
the template. Wooden fillers must be flush or slightly
less than the cabinet flange. Make sure the cabinet
bottom is level.
For flush bottom cabinets, no special instructions
are required.
Hood Installation with Riser:
• Remove the appropriate electrical and duct
knockouts in the riser as shown in the figure.
• Install plastic grommet (from hardware bag) in
electrical knockout hole to protect the cable.

WALL AND CABINET PREPARATION
IMPORTANT — The vent hood must be secured
to the cabinet and at least two wall studs and
drywall with anchors. Cabinet must be capable of
supporting 100 lbs.
• With the template taped in place, use a punch to
mark all mounting screw locations and electrical
holes according to your application.
• Drill a minimum 3/4” hole for electrical cable in
bottom of the cabinet.
• Drill 1/8” pilot holes at the 4 punched locations on
the bottom of the cabinet.
• Drill 1/8” pilot holes at the 4 punched locations on
the wall
• Remove the template.
• Enlarge holes that did not enter studs to 5/16”.
Tap anchors for wall fasteners into the holes.
WIRING LOCATIONS
Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Locate the template packed with the literature.
–
Measure 36” from the floor to the top of the cook-
ing surface. Add hood installation height deter-
mined on previous pages. Mark that location.
– Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the
Wall.
– Tape the template in position along the penciled
line. CHECK TO BE SURE THE TEMPLATE IS LEVEL.
HOUSE WIRING LOCATION:
• The junction box is located on the top right side of
the hood.

Mounting the riser to the bottom of the cabinet is depen-
dent on your cabinet. For non-flush bottom cabinets, two
(2) 4” wide (length and thickness depend on your cabinet)
solid wood fillers are required on the left and right sides of
lower cabinet as shown. Use shims if necessary to make
wooden fillers flush.
NOTE: When securing wooden fillers to cabinet, be
sure to consider the hood mounting screw locations
on the template. Wooden fillers must be flush or
slightly less than the cabinet flange. Make sure the
cabinet bottom is level.
For flush bottom cabinets, no special instructions
are required.
