INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.

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 an island range hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located no more than
30” above the cooking surface for optimum 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 the 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 listed on the back page
of this instruction sheet.
Transition height is as follows:
Island Dual Blower (T200): 8” round duct connects to 9” tall VP565 transition (included).
5) Prepare a protective surface on the oor or countertop for the hood. Remove the hood from its packaging and place
it upside-down on the protective surface for access to the inside of the hood.

Warning: Make sure power is off and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
9) FOR HOODS WITH NON-REMOVABLE BLOWER MOUNTING
ASSEMBLIES ONLY. IF HOOD HAS A REMOVABLE BLOWER
MOUNTING ASSEMBLY, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 10.
Remove the three screws retaining each blower motor. 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.
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.
Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through each motor box electrical opening on top of the
hood. Install electrical wiring from the service panel to the hood location for each motor box. Consult the connection
diagrams (previous page) for further details on electrical placement. Feed the electrical wire(s) through the wire
clamp(s). Tighten the clamp(s). SKIP STEP 10. PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 11.
7) FOR HOODS WITH REMOVABLE BLOWER MOUNTING ASSEMBLIES ONLY. IF HOOD DOES NOT HAVE A REMOVABLE
BLOWER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 9. Remove each blower deck assembly by removing
the 12 screws around the blower mounting plate. Unplug the electrical connector and set the blower assembly aside,
taking care not to damage blower wheels.
8) Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through the electrical strap(s) on the top of the hood deck.
Install electrical wiring from the service panel to the hood location for each blower assembly. Consult the connection
diagrams (previous page) for further details on electrical placement. Support the hood under the location where it will
hang and feed the electrical wire(s) through the wire clamp(s). Tighten the clamp(s). SKIP STEP 9. PROCEED DIRECTLY
TO STEP 10.

6) Remove the shipping tape that is securing the E-Z Clean shields inside the hood. Remove the E-Z Clean shields by
lightly pulling each toward the end of the hood. Gently close the back draft dampers from the top side of the hood. To
remove the blower housings, unsnap the suitcase latches (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.

Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
13) FOR HOODS WITH REMOVABLE BLOWER MOUNTING ASSEMBLIES ONLY. IF HOOD DOES NOT HAVE A REMOVABLE
BLOWER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 14. Attach the transition(s) to each deck blower
assembly and seal with duct tape. The transition must t inside the exhaust collar on the blower assembly. Reconnect
the electrical connector for each blower deck assembly. For assemblies with two connectors, connect the right harness
to the front connector and the left harness to the back connector. While taking care to properly align the duct connection
between the transition and the duct in the ceiling, reinstall the blower deck assembly into the hood using the 12 screws
previously removed in Step 7.
14) Replace the blower housings and the blower shields. Make sure that the dampers open and close smoothly.
15) Refer to Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light functions
to ensure they are operating properly.
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
11) FOR HOODS WITH NON-REMOVABLE BLOWER MOUNTING ASSEMBLIES ONLY. IF HOOD HAS A REMOVABLE BLOWER
MOUNTING ASSEMBLY, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 12. 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.
12) 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). Plug the motors into the hood and reinstall the blower
motors using the three retaining screws that were previously removed in Step 9. 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.
PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 14.
10) FOR HOODS WITH REMOVABLE BLOWER MOUNTING ASSEMBLIES ONLY. IF HOOD DOES NOT HAVE A REMOVABLE
BLOWER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 11. 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. 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). SKIP STEP 11 AND 12.
PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 13.
