CONTEMPORARY ISLAND HOODS
WITH AIR RECOVERY SYSTEM
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. 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.

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 contemporary island mount Air Recovery System (ARS), 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.
Remove the duct cover from its packaging and remove the hood-mounting screws from the base of
the duct cover. Remove and set aside the lter support plate. Remove the duct cover front panel.
The panel is held in place with four snaps at the corners and at least one snap on the left and
right. Begin by pulling the panel away at one corner using the suction cup provided. Work around
the duct cover disengaging one snap at a time until all the snaps are loose. Beware of sharp corners and edges. Use
caution to prevent bending, scratching or dropping the 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.

Warning: Make sure power is o󰀨 and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.

4) Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp into the junction box in the top of the duct cover. Install
electrical wiring from the service panel to the duct cover location. Tighten the wire clamp.
5) From inside the duct cover junction box, 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).

6) Raise the hood to its nal position and attach it to the duct cover using the screws previously removed in Step 3. Be
careful not to damage the duct cover electrical harness wiring when aligning the top of the hood with the bottom of
the duct cover by sliding the duct cover electrical harness plug into the receiving cutout in the top of the hood. Plug
the duct cover electrical harness into the power connector inside upper area of the hood.
7) Place the lter support plate with the support legs pointing upward into the bottom of the duct cover. Lay the gasket
around the blower discharge which should be protruding through the lter support plate.
8) Remove the lter assembly from it's packaging. With the blower discharge inlet facing
downward, lift the odor absorbing canister. Hold the canister so that the canister bottom
is just above the the bottom of the duct cover opening and slide the canister into the
duct cover.
9) Move the canister all the way to the back and then lower the canister over the blower
discharge. Shift the canister front to back and left to right to make sure that the blower
discharge and canister have fully engaged.
10) With the gasket side facing down, nest the smoke trapping lter element into the pocket
that forms the top of the odor absorbing canister. The lter may have a rectangular base
so rotate as necessary. Replace the duct cover front panel by aligning the snaps and
pressing each snap into position.
11) Refer to Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation.
Test all blower and light functions to ensure they are operating properly.
