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 a wall mount liner insert ARS, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the enclosure be located
21" – 24” above the cooking surface for optimum performance.
3) Remove the liner from the packaging and place it underneath the enclosure (previously installed).

Installation Details Continued
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
4) Remove the electrical enclosure cover (1 screw) and the top electrical knockout from the liner. Install an appropriate
1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through the electrical knockout. Install electrical wiring from the service panel to
the liner location. Extend wire to 18” above the countertop. Electrical connection will occur after the liner is installed
in the enclosure. Consult the connection diagrams (on previous page) for further details on electrical placement.
5) Lift the liner up into the enclosure ushing the bottom edges of the liner and the enclosure. Screw the liner (wood
screws provided) to the enclosure through the holes along the bottom edge of the liner. Wood strips may be necessary
to ll any gaps between the opening and the liner if the opening in the wood surround is larger than the liner.
6) By reaching through the lter access panel, insert the electrical wire through the electrical wire clamp allowing 3”- 4”
of wire inside the enclosure for hookup. Tighten the electrical wire clamp.
7) From inside the liner, 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 4.
Warning: Make sure power is o󰀨 and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
8) Remove the lter assembly from it's packaging. Hold the canister so that the canister
bottom is just above the top of the liner insert and slide the canister into the enclosure
through the access panel.
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 enclosure removable panel.
11) 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.
