INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CIEH9/CILH9 ISLAND RANGE HOOD
Read All Instructions Thoroughly Before Beginning Installation
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. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical 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 prevent back
drafting. 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
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code authorities.
E. ASHRAE residential ventilation standard 62.2 limits exhaust fans (total) to
a maximum of 15 CFM per 100 square feet of occupiable space, unless a
back drafting test is performed or make-up air is provided. Consult a local
HVAC engineer for make-up air evaluation.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK

Page 2L123 1210A
Ducting Do’s and Don’ts
NEVER restrict the duct size. The island dual blower unit (T200) 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 the included Vent-A-Hood
transition(s) will ensure proper efciency.
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 hoods only.
Custom hoods may require additional specication consideration.
2) When installing a CIEH9/CILH9 island hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located no more
than 30” above the cooking surface. Exceeding recommended mounting height may compromise performance.
3) Load-bearing framework in the ceiling is necessary for installation. Additional framework
construction may be required. Do not attach an island hood to a structure that cannot support
twice the weight of the hood. If applicable, remove the duct cover from its packaging and
remove the hood-mounting screws from the base of the duct cover. Install the duct cover to
the load-bearing framework in the ceiling using appropriate hardware through the four inside
corner mounting anges on the top of the duct cover.
4) Install the duct(s) from the outside of the home down to the location of the exhaust outlet(s)
on the top of the transition plus 1”. This will allow the transition to engage 1” inside of the
duct. Consult connection diagrams (on 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 provided on the back
page of this instruction sheet.
Transition heights are as follows:
Island Dual Blower (T200): 8” round duct connects to 9” tall VP565 transition (included).
Island Dual Blower (T2+200): Two 8” round ducts connect to two 9” tall VP565 transitions (included).
5) Prepare a protective surface on the oor or countertop for the hood. Remove the hood from its packaging and place it
on its side on the protective surface for access to the inside of the hood. Remove the blower shields (A) by loosening
the two brass screws on the bottom of the shield. Gently close the back draft dampers from the top side of the hood.
To remove the blower housings, unsnap the suitcase latches (B) (one on each side of the housing). The housings
should be pulled forward and gently “tipped” to clear the blower wheels and then out of the hood. Place the hood
upside-down on the protective surface.

8) Turn the hood over on the protective surface. Attach the transition to each dual blower assembly and seal with duct
tape. The transition must t inside the exhaust collar on the blower assembly.
7) Remove the three screws retaining the blower motors. Unplug
and remove the motors, taking care not to damage the blower
wheels. It is not necessary to remove the blower wheels from
the motors.

Warning: Make sure power is off and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
9) Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through each motor box electrical opening on the top of the
hood. Install electrical wiring from the service panel to the hood location for each motor box. Consult the connection
diagrams (below) for further details on electrical placement. Support the hood beneath the location where it will hand
and feed the electrical wire(s) through the wire clamp(s). Tighten the wire clamp(s).

10) While taking care to properly align the duct connection between the transition(s) and the duct(s) in the ceiling, raise
the hood to its nal position and attach it to the load-bearing framework in the ceiling using appropriate hardware or
to the duct cover(s) using the screws previously removed in Step 3.
11) From inside the hood, 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.
12) Plug the motors into the hood and reinstall the blower motors using the three retaining screws that were previously
removed in Step 7. Note: The side of the motor box where the “black” motors mount is labeled to ensure the motors
are installed back into the hood in the proper position.
13) Replace the blower housings and the blower shields. Make sure that the dampers 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.
