3.
For vertical or horizontal ducting, install the appropriate damper assembly to the hood by
placing the assembly over the opening and securing in place with the provided screws
(Figure 5). If using the 3-1/4" x 10" damper, make sure the damper hinge is towards the
front or the top of the hood to ensure the best possible performance.

4.
Install an approved wire connector to the electrical knockout of the hood and guide the
electrical cable through the hood, allowing at least 6" of wire for connections and tighten.
NOTE: If installing into existing construction and you will not have access to the ductwork
once the hood is in place, make ducting connections at this point. Refer to the Ducting Section
for instructions.
5.
Install the 4 mounting screw at the previously marked locations. Leave approximately 1/8"
clearance. Slide the hood in place through the keyhole slots and align the front of the hood
so that it is flush with the front of the cabinets. Tighten all screws securely (Figure 6).

CAUTION:
DO NOT INSTALL CLOSER THAN 22 INCHES ABOVE
COOKING SURFACE.

Wiring
CAUTION:
MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING
ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1.
Connect the 1 loose Black wire from the range hood to the Black wire from the supply,
and the 1 loose White wire from the range hood to the White wire of the supply. Connect
the ground wire (green or bare) from the supply to the green ground screw of the hood.
Use approved methods for all connections (Figure 7).

NOTE: DO NOT disconnect any wiring that has already been crimped with a wire connector

2.
Install the wire compartment cover using the three screws removed earlier. Make sure
the the 2 screws with the pointed tips are installed through the wire cover and into the
polymetric undercarriage. The blunt tip screw is to be installed to the interior of the wire
compartment. Make sure all wiring is securely contained within the wire compartment
and tighten all screws.
SECTION 6
Ducting
CAUTION:
BUILDING CODES.
NOTE: The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air
flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible
for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended.
Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed
with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.
WARNING:
METAL DUCTWORK.
1.
Connect the ducting to the hood's duct collar and damper. Ensure duct joints and exterior
penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path to
minimize building heat loss or gain and to reduce the potential for condensation. Place/
wrap insulation around duct and/or fan in order to minimize possible condensation
buildup within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain (Figure 8).

CAUTION:
WALL OR ROOF CAP.

Finishing the Installation
2.
Reinstall the filters by fitting them into the channel on either side of the hood and
pushing upwards on them until they are secured in place (Figure 9).

2.
Turn switches to the "OFF" position and restore power. Test that the light and the fan are
operating properly.
3.
If there is any vibration noise, check for the source and try to tighten fasteners.
