WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualied
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including re-rated construction. Switch power off at service panel
and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from
being switched on accidentally during installation.
B. Whencuttingordrillingintowallorceiling,donotdamageelectrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
C. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
D. Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the ue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
preventbackdrafting.Followtheheatingequipmentmanufacturer’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 local code authorities.

Ducting Do’s and Don’ts
NEVER restricttheduct size.The single blowerunit(B100) requires 6”roundduct or equivalent
(28 square inches), and the dual blower unit (B200) requires 8” round duct or equivalent (50
square inches). When combining ducts together, the square inch area must reect the total
square inch area of the ducts being combined. Using Vent-A-Hood transitions (back page) will
ensure proper efciency.
Blower Duct Size Sq. Inch Area Vent-A-Hood Transition
Single (B100) 6” round or equivalent 28” N/A
Dual (B200) 8” round or equivalent 50” N/A
Single and Dual (B100 & B200) 10” round or equivalent 79” VP562 (Optional)
Two Dual (Two B200s) 12” round or equivalent 113” VP563 (Optional)
Do not use exible or corrugated duct. This type of duct will restrict airow and reduce
performance. Only use smooth, galvanized, metal duct. Observe local codes regarding special
duct requirements and placement of duct against combustibles. Make the duct run as short
and as straight as possible with as few turns as possible. Avoid sharp-angled turns. Instead,
use smooth, gradual turns such as adjustable elbows or 45 degree angled turns. For duct runs
over 20 feet, increase the duct diameter by one inch for every ten feet of duct. A 90 degree
elbow is equal to 5 feet of duct. Using Vent-A-Hood roof jacks or wall louvers (back page) will
ensure proper efciency. Airow must not be restricted at the end of the duct run. Do not use
screen wire or spring-loaded doors on wall louvers or roof jacks. Do not terminate venting into
an attic or chimney. Where possible, seal joints with duct tape. The hood must be ducted to the
outdoors without restrictions.

Installation Details
1) Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Note: These instructions apply to standard liners only.
Custom liners may require additional specication consideration.
2) When installing a SLD wall mount liner (19 1/4” deep), it is recommended that the bottom edge of the liner be located no
more than 24” - 27” from the cooking surface. For PSLD and PSLB wall mount liners (22 1/2” deep), it is recommended
that the bottom edge of the liner be located no more than 27” - 30” from the cooking surface. For custom liners, the
recommended height off the cooking surface is dependent on the depth of the liner. In general, the deeper the custom
liner, the higher off the cooking surface it can be, up to a maximum recommended height of 30”. Exceeding recommended
mounting height may compromise performance.
3) Install the duct(s) from the outside of the home down to the location of the exhaust outlet(s) on the top of the liner
allowing room for the transition (if applicable). If back venting, the elbow(s) should be installed so that the non-crimped
end(s) are on the inside the collar(s) of the exhaust outlet(s). If a transition is used, install duct down to the location of
the transition outlet plus 1”. This will allow the transition to engage 1” inside of duct. Consult the connection diagrams
(next page) for further details on exhaust outlet placement.
Use duct tape to seal all joints. A complete listing of available Vent-A-Hood ducting materials is included on the back
page of this instruction sheet.
Transition heights are as follows:
Single Blower (B100): 6” round duct will connect directly to the top of the liner.
Dual Blower (B200): 8” round duct will connect directly to the top of the liner.
Single and Dual Blower (B100 & B200): 6” round duct will connect directly to the top of the hood; 8” round will
connect directly to the top of the hood. Optional 10” round combination
transition (VP562, sold separately) is 17 1/2” tall.
Two Dual Blowers (Two B200s): Two 8”rounds connectdirectlyto the top ofthehood.Optional12”round
combination transition (VP563, sold separately) is 16 1/2” tall.

5) Remove the hood from its packaging and place the back of the hood on the oor or countertop in front of the wall
where it will hang.
6) Remove the blower shield(s) (A) by loosening the two brass screws on the bottom of the shield(s). Gently close the
back draft damper(s) from the top side of the hood. To remove the blower housing(s), unsnap the suitcase latches (B)
(one on each side of the housing). The housing(s) should be pulled forward and gently “tipped” to clear the blower
wheel(s) and then out of the hood.

7) Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through each motor box electrical opening on top of the
liner. Install electrical wiring from the service panel to the liner location for each motor box. Consult the connection
diagrams (on previous page) for further details on electrical placement.
Installation Details Continued
8) Extend wires to the liner and insert them into the electrical wire clamp on each motor box. Tighten the wire clamp(s).
From inside the liner, using UL listed wire nuts, attach the “neutral” wire(s) to the white lead(s), the “hot” wire(s) to
the black lead(s), and the ground wire(s) to the green lead(s) inside the motor box(es).
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
9) While aligning the duct and guiding the wires, lift the liner up into the enclosure ushing the bottom edges of the liner
and the enclosure. Duct should connect together as the liner is raised into place. Note: The duct work must t inside
the exhaust collar.
10) Install a wood screw with a countersunk washer and a at
washer into each back and side mounting hole along the
bottom edge of the liner. Only install wood screws into the
front mounting holes along the bottom edge of the liner. Note:
The hardware used in this step can be found in the liner trim
kit that was previously removed from the packaging in Step
4.
11) Install the trim piece for the back side of the liner (provided
in the liner trim kit) by hooking one side under the bottom
edges of the back countersunk washers. Snap the trim piece
over the top of the countersunk washers by applying pressure
upward and toward the liner wall. Repeat this process for the
side trim pieces (provided in the liner trim kit). Note: It may be
necessary to lightly tap the trim piece with a rubber mallet.
12) Plug the motor(s) into the liner and reinstall the blower motor retaining screws that were previously removed in
Step 6.
13) Replace the blower housing(s) and the blower shield(s). Make sure that the damper(s) open and close smoothly.
14) Refer to the Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light
functions to ensure they are operating properly.
