install warming shelf panel first.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW
• Before beginning, please read these instructions
completely and carefully.
• Do not remove permanently affixed labels,
warnings, or plates from the product. This may
void the warranty.
• Please observe all local and national codes and
ordinances. If no local codes are applicable, wire
in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition.
• Damp environment approved models should be
installed in a covered non-enclosed area and
should be protected from the elements as much
as possible.
• The installer should leave these instructions with
the consumer who should retain for local
inspector’s use and for future reference.
• Check with a qualified and trained installer or local
codes for makeup air requirement, if any.
This hood is for residential installation only and is
not designed for installation over a commercial
product. Make sure power is off at the main circuit
breaker or fuse box before making connections. To
avoid risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons,
turn off the electricity to the hood from the power
supply before servicing or cleaning. Our hoods are
equipped with variable speed control blowers.
These units will not function with a single speed
ventilator. All Viking Range ventilator kits are
designed specifically for use with Viking Range
hoods. Use of any non-Viking Range ventilator kit
will void the hood warranty.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
1. Installation work and electrical wiring must
be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction.
2. Sufficient air is needed for proper
combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flute (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 the local code authorities.
3. When cutting of drilling into wall or ceiling,
do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
4. Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
5. WARNING!: To reduce risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork
6. CAUTION!: To reduce risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air
outside. Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings, or into
attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
7. CAUTION!: To Reduce the Risk of Fire and
Electric Shock, Install this rangehood only
with remote blower models manufactured
by Viking, model numbers –
DEV900/DEV1200, VEV900/VIL1200, OR
integral blowers manufactured by Viking
Range, model numbers –
VINV300/600/1200, or DIL1200. NOTE –
Please refer inside for specific
canopy/blower combinations.

Planning Information
Proper installation of ducting is extremely
important to ensure maximum performance
from any ventilation product.
• All CFMs are based on tests at 0.1 static
pressure: without applying static pressure, CFM
would be greatly overstated.
• Straight runs and gradual turns are best; for
example, each 90º elbow is equivalent to 5-10
feet (1.52-3.05 cm) of straight run.
• Never use flexible duct; it creates back pressure/air
turbulence and greatly reduces performance.
• Proper performance is dependent on proper
ducting; make sure that a qualified and trained
installer is used.
• Check with a qualified and trained installer or
local codes for makeup air requirement, if any.
• Max. amp rating for hoods includes
recommended ventilator kit rating; all products
must be hard wired direct with 2-wire with ground.
Plan where the duct work will be located. Install
proper-sized duct work, and roof or wall cap for the
type of blower you are using. Recommended hood
locations for the most common installations are
shown. Adjust your measurements for various heights
of ceilings, soffits, cabinets, or ranges/rangetops.
Check Framing
NOTE: Because of the weight of the hood make sure
that the mounting screws are driven into the framing
and not just the drywall. It may be necessary to drill
additional holes in the canopy for proper alignment.
