INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
JCIH/A1 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 o󰀨 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. Su󰀩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.

Island Dual (T200) 8" round or equivalent 50 sq. in. VP565 (Included)
Island Cluster (T400) 12" round or equivalent 113 sq. in. VP564 (Included)
Ducting Requirements
• NEVER reduce the duct size.
• Donotuseexibleorcorrugatedduct.Thistypeofductwillrestrictairowandreduceperformance.
• Onlyusesmooth,galvanized,metalduct.
• 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.
Termination Requirements
• Airowmustnotberestrictedattheendoftheductrun.
• A wall louver or roof jack is required for each duct run.
• Everywalllouverorroofjackmustincludeagravitydampertopreventbackdrafts.
• Do not use screen wire or spring-loaded doors on wall louvers or roof jacks.
• Donotterminateventingintoanatticorchimney.

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 the installation of an island hood.
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 from the outside of the home down to the location of the exhaust outlet 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 heights are as follows:
Island Dual Blower (T200): 8” round duct connects to 9” tall VP565 transition (included).
Island Cluster Blower (T400): 12” round duct connects to 11 1/4” tall VP564 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.

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: Make sure power is o󰀨 and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
7) 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.
8) Turn the hood over on the protective surface. Attach the transition to the blower outlets
and seal with duct tape. The transition must t inside the exhaust collar(s) on the blower
assembly.

Installation Details Continued
10) While taking care to properly align the duct connection between the transition and the duct 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 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).
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” motor mounts is labeled to ensure the motors
are installed back into the hood in the proper positions.
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
13) Reinstall the blower housings and the blower shields. Make sure that the dampers open and close smoothly.
14) Refer to Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light functions
to ensure they are operating properly.
9) 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. 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).
