INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking:
• Check the package for damage. If any damage is visible you should mark the bill of lading you sign that there may
be concealed damage.
• Ensure the container is upright. If the container is not upright major damage can occur to your appliance. If
damage is discovered do not refuse delivery Contact the dealer and file appropriate freight claims. Save all
packaging material. Do not contact the manufacturer since your appliance was shipped from the dealer you
purchased it from. Shipping damage claims are to be resolved between the customer, shipping carrier and dealer.
The manufacturer may assist in resolving such claims, but such assistance does not relieve you of your
responsibility.
• Move the container as close to its installation location as possible. This will reduce moving and handling your
appliance once it is out of its shipping container.
• Do not discard packaging without first locating the filters as they may be packed separately.
• Inspect all packaging before discarding.
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this ventilation unit only with remote blowers models rated maximum
8.4 amps or integral blowers manufactured by EBM, Model D2E146-HT65-14.
Your ventilation hood is designed to work specifically with the integral or remote blower requested. Hood has been
evaluated for safety using the blowers listed. Use other blowers at your own risk.
CAUTION
In selecting the proper height to mount the hood,
take into consideration the stature of the person or
persons who will be cooking. A minimum height of
30” off of the cooking surface to a maximum height
of 36” will suit most users. It is recommended but
not required that the hood be 6” wider than the
cooking appliance to provide a proper capture area
for heat and grease.
The bottom of the hood should be 30” minimum to
36” maximum above the countertop. This would
typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66” –
72” above the floor. The bottom of the hood should
never be more than 72” above the floor or more
than 36” above the countertop. These dimensions
provide safe and efficient operation of the hood.
