IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
HOODS SHOULD BE INSTALLED WITH VENTILATORS APPROVED FOR USE WITH THE HOOD.
SEE TABLE –1 ON THIS PAGE FOR APPROVED VENTILATORS.
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 Qualified
Person(s) In Accordance With All
Applicable Codes & Standards.
Including Fire-Rated Construction.
“WARNING” To Reduce The Risk Of
Fire, Use Only Metal Duct Work.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper
combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent
backdrafting. Follow the heating
equipment manufactures guideline and
safetystandard such as those published
by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) and the American
Societyfor Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),
and the local code authorities.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or
ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
D. Before Servicing or Cleaning Unit,
Switch Power off At Service Panel And
Lock Service Disconnecting Means to
Prevent Power From Being Switched On
Accidentally. When The Service
Disconnecting Means Cannot be Locked,
securely Fasten A Prominent Warning
Device, Such As A Tag, To The Service
Panel
CAUTION - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND TO PROPERLY EXHAUST AIR, BE SURE TO
DUCT AIR OUTSIDE FOR DUCTED FANS –DO NOT VENT EXHAUST AIR INTO SPACE WITHIN
WALLS OR CEILING OR INTO ATTICS, CRAWL SPACES OR GARAGES.
Read this instruction completely before starting installation. Planning the complete installation before starting any work
is highly recommended. This includes all aspects of the installation including hood location, ducting, electrical requirements,
and adequacy of mounting surfaces.
DUCTING: Use a minimum 8" round duct for VEN060I installations. Use a minimum 10" round duct for VEN120I,
VEN100E and VEN150E installations. See Page –2 for Transition (Purchased Separately) Recommendations.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
HOOD MODELS –WPX
TABLE - 1
Use model VEN060I or VEN120I
for internal ventilator. Use
VEN100E or VEN150E for remote
ventilator
This hood series has been designed to be used with the ventilators shown in
Table –1 (Exception: The VEN120I cannot be used on 30-inch wide
Hoods). Before cutting into cabinets, it is necessary to confirm that the
correct ventilator is being used. Your dealer should have reviewed your needs
prior to your purchase. Be sure you have the correct ventilation system.
CAUTION: To Reduce The Risk Of Fire And Electrical Shock, Install This
Rangehood Only With Blowers Manufactured By Wind Crest.

.
NOTE: Unit must be vented
to outside of the building.
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION, YOU MUST IDENTIFY THE VENTILATOR MODEL BEING USED
AND IF A TOP OR REAR EXHAUST IS TO BE USED.
NOTE: VEN120I cannot be used in rear exhaust applications or on Models with Heat-
Lamps.
Prepare cabinet and/or wall for mounting either top (Fig -
3) or rear (Fig - 6) exhaust. Use furring strips to level
cabinet mounting surface with any cabinet trims.

Break the metal webs by placing a screwdriver at one
corner of the plate and hitting screwdriver sharply with a
hammer. After breaking a second web the plate can be
flexed to break other webs.
Wear eye protection when using tools.
Caution: When knock outs are removed
the edges will be sharp!!!!!!!!! Sharp Edges
should be Filed or Covered with Metal
Tape.
Attach and secure the transition to the hood with #6x3/8
sheet metal screws and tape all joints prior to installing the
hood. Attach hood to cabinet using #10 wood screws. If
duct cover is used refer to Instructions on Page –6. Holes
are located in the back panel and top panel of the hood for
mounting. Use a minimum of four #10x3/4 wood screws
to mount the hood. Longer screws are required if wall
board or other nonstructural surfaces are used between the
hood and main mounting surface which should be a
minimum of 3/4”thick. When using rear holes for
additional mounting use appropriate anchors if not
engaging the wood structure.
HINT: If you find vibration noise is present because of
cabinet structure use additional screws, in holes available,
to make the mounting more ridged.
Connect 120 volt, 60 Hz power through the conduit hole
in top of hood, connecting to pigtail in hood junction box,
white to white, black to black and connect green ground
wire to the power supply ground wire per local codes. See
Fig –A.
The recommended height from countertop or cooking
surface to the bottom edge of the hood is 30 to 36 inches.
Hood is recommended for use over domestic gas or
electric appliances. Not recommended for use over solid
fuel fired appliances.
After installing the hood, install the internal blower
(Top Exhaust See Fig 1 & 2; Rear Exhaust See Fig -
4) unit by positioning the blower onto bracket-A,
notched blower bracket will center blower. Rotate
into position against hood and secure Bracket –B to
Hood with #8 sheet metal screws. If the remote
ventilator is used see related instructions and Fig - 3.
The VEN100E/150E ventilator will require revision
of some wiring in the hood receptacle box - See
VEN100E/150E instructions.
NOTE: VEN150E requires a dedicated 20 AMP
Power Supply. All other ventilators require a
dedicated 15 AMP Power Supply
CAUTION: The hood is of sufficient weight that two
installers are recommended to prevent injury or damage to
the hood in handling.
Turn the power on at the service entrance and check the
operation of the controls.
NOTE: be sure that all dampers are operating properly
and are free to open.
BACKDRAFT DAMPER
: It is recommended that a backdraft damper
(#10288.00 for 8” round ducts, #10289.00 for 10” round ducts) be used in all
installations. In cold weather installations it is necessary to use a backdraft
damper to minimize backflow of cold air into room. A non-metallic thermal
break should also be used to minimize conduction of outside temperatures
through the ductwork. The thermal break should be located as close as possible
to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
SAFTY WARNING:
Turn off power circuit at
the service entrance and
lockout panel before
wiring the range hood.

CAUTION: To prevent damaging the duct cover, DO NOT remove the protective covering until you are
ready to assemble the cover to the hood.

1) Decide on hood location, position above cooking surface and type of air discharge to be used (See Hood
Installation Instruction). When using the Duct Cover(s) plan on spacing from the top of the hood to the
ceiling 1/8” larger than the duct cover length being used. This allows assembly of the duct cover after
installation of the hood, electric connections and ducting. The small gap, at top of duct, remaining after
installation will not be noticeable in most applications. If necessary a small quarter-round can be used to
this gap at the ceiling interface.
SPACING TO
BE 1/8"
LARGER THAN

2) When using the duct cover and hood, locate hood centerline on wall and mount the Duct Cover Bracket to
ceiling centered on the hood centerline, use #8 x 1-1/2” screws to mount bracket. Mount the bracket to the
ceiling with edge “A” against the hood-mounting wall. Wood framing should be located, behind wallboard,
in the area of the ceiling. If not, use anchors to fasten bracket to ceiling.

The Duct Cover Bracket is used to ensure the Duct Cover is retained against the wall, for appearance purposes,
when the longer length of cover is used.

3) Mount the hood and install wiring and ducting per Hood Installation Instruction.
4) When using Duct Cover sections 1 & 2, set in length of duct needed and secure sections together using four #8 x 3/8”
screws. Flanges on Duct Cover Section should be positioned facing toward same end of Duct Cover assembly. HINT:
Predrive screws into holes, remove screws, remove protective cover from Duct Cover Sections, assemble Duct Cover
sections and set length (Use extreme caution to avoid scratching Duct Cover Sections), reinstall screws and
tighten. This will ease assembly of screws and prevent scratching of Duct Cover.
REMINDER: Length of Duct Covers should be 1/8” smaller than spacing of hood top to ceiling.

5) Predrive #8x1/2” screws into bottom flange of duct cover. Remove screws and aside for use when mounting duct
cover to hood.
6) Install the duct cover onto the hood, flanges facing down, and spread the sides of the Duct Cover slightly and position
the cover over the Duct Cover Bracket.
7) Fasten Duct Cover to hood using screws from step-5. This should be done before installing internal blower unit.
8) Install internal blower unit or remote blower unit as required.
