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.
NOTE: For optimum performance, the Air Recovery System (ARS) lter assembly will require routine maintenance. In
order to accommodate this requirement, the enclosure must be constructed with at least one removable outside panel
that is large enough to remove the lter assembly or assemblies.
NOTE: This is a recirculating product which means that there must be openings for the reclaimed air to re-enter the
room upon exiting the lter assembly. A minimum of 25 sq. in. of exhaust opening space per blower/lter assembly,
located above the lter assembly outlet (top), is required for proper air recirculation.
2) When installing an ARS under cabinet range hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located
21" – 24” above the cooking surface for optimum performance.
3) Inspect the underside of the cabinet for a ush mounting surface. If the underside of the cabinet is recessed, install
wood strips to provide a ush surface for the hood mounting screws to engage.
4) Cut openings in the base of the cabinet for the lter area footprint and electrical connection. Consult the connection
diagram (below) for further details on cutout placement.
5) Remove the hood from its packaging and place on the oor or countertop in front of the cabinet where it will hang.

Installation Details Continued
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
Warning: Make sure power is o󰀨 and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
6) Remove the electrical enclosure cover (1 screw) and the electrical enclosure knockout from the top of hood. Install
an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through the electrical knockout. Install electrical wiring from the
electrical panel to the hood location. Be sure to extend the wire through the cabinet base.
7) Insert the electrical wire through the electrical wire clamp allowing 3” - 4” of wire inside the enclosure for hookup.
Tighten the electrical wire clamp.
8) From inside the hood, using UL listed wire nuts, attach the “neutral” wire to the white lead, the “hot” wire to the black
lead, and the ground wire to the green lead inside the junction box. Replace the electrical cover previously removed
in Step 6.
9) While aligning the blower outlet collar and guiding the wires, position the hood under the cabinet. The collar should
protrude roughly 1" into the upper cabinet space.

10) Remove the lter assembly from it's packaging. Hold the canister so that the bottom is
just above the top of the cabinet base and slide the canister into the cabinet through
the access panel.
11) 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.
12) 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.
13) Refer to the Air Recovery System Owner and Maintenance Guide for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light
functions to ensure they are operating properly.
