should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock and injury to person, including the following:

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.If you

have questions, contact the manufacturer.

b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at

service panel and lock the 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.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK

AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified

person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-related construction.

b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting

of gases through the flue (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.

c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:

BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
NOTE: Outdoor Kitchen Professional Range Hoods are approved for use in covered

outdoor kitchens only. Proper duct adapters, ducting, chimneys, roof/wall caps, etc.
must be utilized as called out in the following instructions. Do not install the hood in an
uncovered area directly exposed to the elements.

MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL

SECTION 1

Preparing the Insert

1. Unpack hood from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to
the range hood you should have:

12 - Screws (46", 58" models - 14)
2 - Halogen Bulbs (58" models - 4)
1 - Duct Adapter
1 - Grease Trough
2 - Grease Baffles (46", 58" models - 3)
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

NOTE: Some hoods may be shipped with a protective plastic adhered to the underside
of the unit. It is recommended to leave this in place during installation to protect it from
scratching. Remove when the installation is complete.

NOTE: If additional support is required, install a 2" x .75" strip of wood (34" wide) between
the back of the canopy (rear wall) and the hood. When installing the wood strip to the
back of the canopy, locate studs in the wall to support the weight of the canopy. Center
the wood strip 11.5" from the bottom of the canopy and attach the strip to at least two
studs in the rear wall (do not fasten the strip to drywall only). Lift unit up into position so
that the bottom flanges are in solid contact with the bottom of the canopy or cabinet. Using
wood screws and washers (not included) secure the hood to the wood strip through the
two keyholes in the back of the hood. Using the included wood mounting screws, secure
the unit to the canopy or cabinet by driving the screws through the holes (Figure 3).

NOTE: The hood must be mounted a minimum of 24" and a maximum of 36" from the
cooking surface.

SECTION 3

Mounting the Liner

CAUTION: DUE TO THE WEIGHT AND BULK OF THE UNIT, IT IS RECOMMENDED

THAT THREE PEOPLE ARE PRESENT DURING INSTALLATION TO LIFT, HOLD, AND SECURE
THE UNIT IN PLACE.

1. Lift unit up into position so that the bottom flanges are in solid contact with the bottom
of the canopy or cabinet. Using the included wood mounting screws, secure the unit
to the canopy or cabinet by driving the screws through the holes (Figure 2).

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL

BUILDING CODES.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

1. Determine the type of ducting you will require (Figure 4).

Figure 4

NOTE: For models using the B600 blower (LIN34, LIN40), a minimum of 6” diameter
outlet adapter & ducting is required to achieve the proper air flow. The B1125 (LIN46,
LIN58) requires a minimum 10” diameter adapter and ducting.

NOTE: When the duct termination is similar to that shown in Figure 4 (passing through
the wall to which the hood is mounted) the installation requires special consideration.
Depending upon where the wall studs are located, it may be necessary to cut one
or more of the wall studs and install a header and footer to transfer the load to the
adjacent studs. Additional studs may need to be framed into the opening to attach dry
wall or secure the hood. If this is your situation Air King recommends that you hire a
professional and comply with all applicable codes.

2. Install the proper sized outlet adapter to the hood by matching up the four holes on
the flange of the adapter to the four corresponding holes on the hood and secure
in place with the provided screws. Ensure an airtight seal around the adapter by
securing all connections with ducting tape (Figure 5).

3 When there is access to the top of the unit, connect the ducting to the duct collar

and secure in place using tape to seal all joints (Figure 5).

4. When there is no access to the top of the hood, carefully pull down the metal duct
through the custom hood base hole. Slide this duct over the duct collar. Make sure
the adapter/damper assembly enters the ducting. Seal the connection with duct tape.

3. Install the baffle filters by inserting the top of the filter into the top channel of the
hood, then slide the bottom of the filter into the bottom channel. The filters have a
top and a bottom. The bottom of the filter will have small drain holes. These holes
must be facing down towards the grease trough to be effective (Figure 9).
