iNSTALLING
For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a
straight run or as few elbows as possible.
CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of
building, only.
One people isnecessary for installation.
On avarage 2 hours are necessary to complete
installation (without considering cut to be done
on wall and or on cabinet, installation of ducts,
conduit and electrical connections to the mains).
installation steps:
12 installationsteps are required for both
installationmethods
Wall mount installation steps or in alternative
Cabinet installation
The hood is fitted with Screws and Drywall
Anchors suitable for most surfaces, consult a
Qualified installer, check if they perfectly fit with
your cabinet/wall.
Do not use flex ducting.
TH HOOD
• COLD WEATHER installations should have an
additional backdraft damper installed to
minimize backward cold air flow and a
nonmetallic thermal break to minimize
conduction of outside temperatures as part of
the ductwork. The damper should be on the
cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to
where the ducting enters the heated portion of
the house.
• Make up air: Local building codes may require
the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using
Ducted Ventilation Systems greater than
specified CFM of air movement.
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific
requirements in your area.
Typical installation
The height from the countertop to the bottom of
the hood is 24" to 30".These hoods are not
recommended to be used over indoor grills.
1. Choose vent options
The hood isdesigned ready to be used for
vertical discharge as shown below.
Note: see also Fig. 1-3-5 for Cabinet
preparation.
If desired, the hood can be converted for
horizontal discharge as shown below.
Note: see also Fig. 2-3-5 for Cabinet and rear
wall preparation.
DUCTING
Provide a Round Duct having a diameter of 8"
see Figure 2 and Figure 3 for location on
cabinet bottom.
install a 1/2" conduit from the service panel long
enough to reach the hood once itis installed.
Power supply must be rated for 120 V AC, 60
Hz. 15 or 20 A.

TABLE 2. DUCTWORK INSTALLATION GUiDELiNES
For safety reasons, ducting should vent directly outdoors (not into an attic, underneath the house, into the
garage or into any enclosed space).
Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.
Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air flow efficiency.
Back to back elbows and ,,S"turns give very poor delivery and are not recommended.
A short straight length of duct at the inlet of the remote blower gives the best delivery.
Transition to duct from the integral blower or remote duct transition as close to the downdraft as is pos-sible.
In order of preference, use
1st. 10" round duct
2nd. 8" round duct
3rd. 3-1/4" x 14" duct
4th. 7" round duct
5th. 3-1/4" x 10"duct
6th. 6" round duct
The use of flexible metal round duct should only be used when no other duct fitting exists. Limit use to short
lengths and do not crush when making corners.
• After having choosen the vent option:
I[
1. Prepare duct and conduit cut outs, see

2. Discharge Direction:
The hood isshipped ready for vertical
discharge.
_i_ WARNING!
Before installing remove the knock-out plate
that close the air outlet on the top if is
desired to use the range hood for vertical
discharge OR the rear outlet if is desired to
use the range hood for horizontal discharge.
(see also Figure 5).
WARNING!
Once the Knock out plate has been
removed, this cannot be reinstalled anymore
close the air outlet (see also Figure 5).
To change to horizontal discharge, do the
following (see also Figure 4):
a. Remove knock-out plate on the rear side of
the hood (see also Figure 5)
b. Remove and keep the 4 screws (2 per side)
that fix blower on top of the hood and release
it from keyholes.
c. Rotate the blower 90° and check that pins on
side blower fixing brackets fit into the pre-
installing holes.
d. Fix the blower on the rear side with the same
4 screws (see step b).

3. Assembly of the 8" Transition:
The transition supplied with the hood mounts to
the top or rear of the hood.
Note- Cabinet installation with vertical
discharge ONLY: do not installtransition until
hood has been fixed on cabinet.
a. Place the transition piece over the hood
exhaust and secure with 4 screws provided
(Figure 5).
b. Duct tape connection between transition and
hood.

Wall Mount Installation
Note: see below if cabinet installation is
preferred
4. After the hood installation height has been
determined draw a horizontal line at a
distance above the cooktop equal to the
desired hood installation height plus 7- 11
2". See also Figure6a.
5. Find the centerline of the cooktop.
Draw a vertical line along this centerline up to
the horizontal line drawn in step 1 and draw a
vertical line right and left at a distance of
12-5/8" to determine the mounting location
of the mounting hooks shipped with the hood.
6. Fit two mounting hooks on the wall to hang the
hood through the provided slots (2 wall
anchors+2 hooks + 2 screws 5x35).
7. Run 8" Duct, long enough to reach the
transition once the hood has been installed plus
1 1/2" inch to connect ductwork.
Fix Duct to transition with screws and seal with
tape.
8. Remove 1 of 2 knockouts and install 1/2"
conduit connector in j-box.
9. Hang the hood and adjust its position through
the screws on the hooks.
lO.Fix the hood to 4 additional point,2 on upper
side, 2 on lower side (use 4 wall anchors + 4
washers + 4 screws 5x35.

4. Find the centerline of the cabinet bottom. Draw
a line along this centerline from rear to front of
the cabinet.
5. Draw two lines, one at a K distance from the
wall, the other one at a Z distance from the
previous line.
Mark 4 points, two along each line at a distance
of half W from the center line, to determine the
screw locations.
6. Fit 4 screws on cabinet bottom do not tighten
completely but leave a space of about 1/2" from
cabinet bottom surface and head screws.
7. Run 8" Duct, long enough to reach the
transition once the hood has been installed plus
1 1/2" inch for connect ductwork.
8. Remove 1 of 2 knockouts and install 1/2"
conduit connector in j-box.
9. Hang the hood on screws through side slots
provided on hood top.
Tighten the four screws.
Note: If possible fix the hood on the wall at 4
additional point (2 on upper side, 2 on lower
side).
