[_ IMPORTANT

See the diagram for minimum installed distance from

the hood t0 the co0ktop surfacel The minimum specified

distance maybe higher for the particular range or
cooktop in use: Check the manufacturers specifications

for the €0oktop 0r rangel

Carefully check the location where the hood is to be

installed. The hood should be placed for convenient

access. Make certain that electric power can be provid-
ed in the selected location. The hood must be centered

horizontally over the cooktop/range.

• The hood model selected must be as wide as the
cooktop surface or wider.

• Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions are

met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide minimum

clearances, unless otherwise noted.

• All contact surfaces between the hood and any cabi-

nets or walls must be solid and at right angles.

• Install the range hood and cooking appliance(s) so that
they can be removed if service is required.

Power Supply

[_ WARNING I

The electric service to the rang e h00d Sh0U nsta ed

only by a licensed electrician. .................

It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the electrical
connection of this appliance is performed by a qualified
electrician. The electrical installation, including minimum
supply wire size and grounding, must be in accordance
with the National Electric code ANSI/NFPA* (or latest revi-
sion) and local codes and ordinances.

*A copy of this standard may be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101

• The ground terminal on the hood must be connected

to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system or
grounding conductor installed by a licensed electrician.

• Do not ground the appliance or appliance wiring to a

gas pipeline or to the neutral (white) power supply wire.

Do not install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

Connect the hood directly to an electrical junction box.

Hard-wire the hood according to local code directly to

a dedicated three wire grounded, single phase circuit

rated at 120 Vac 60 Hz, 15Amp.

[_ WARNING

• To prevent combustion by-products, smoke or odors
from entering the home and to improve efficiency,

tape all duct joints securely.

• Use only duct work deemed acceptable by state,
municipal and local codes.

• Range hoods may interrupt the proper flow of smoke
and combustion gases from furnaces, gas water

heaters and fireplaces. To avoid drawing lethal gases
into the home, follow the manufacturer's recom-

mendation for these devices and consult NFPA and

ASHRAE recommendations.

Failure to install a remote blower or proper duct work
may result in a back draft and/or the insufficient vent-
ing of smoke and fumes.

• DO NOT install an additional in-line or external blow-
er to increase the length of the duct run. Even small

differences between blower air flow rates can greatly
reduce the air draw by the hood,

[_ CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside the h0use 0r building. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into

attics, crawl spaces or garages. ...............

All duct work materials (including screws and duct tape)

must be purchased separately by the customer. When
planning new duct work, always look for the shortest,
most direct route to the outside. The blower assembly
can be rotated to accommodate venting (and wiring)

through the top [] or the back I='1.

D

The hood exhaust connects to an 8-inch round duct.
You can increase the duct size over the duct run if

desired. To prevent a back draft, never decrease the
duct size over the run. If existing duct work is smaller

than 8 inches in diameter, remove it and replace it with

8-inch duct work.
Do not rely on tape alone to seal duct joints. Fasten all

connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints

with certified silver tape or duct tape. Use sheet metal

screws as required to support the duct weight.

• To prevent back-drafts, a damper at the duct outlet may
also be required.

• Make sure duct work does not interfere with floor joists

or wall studs.

• On dual exhaust models, the two 8" exhausts may be
merged into one 10" duct using Dacor transition kit

AHT10. See page 16 for details.

Calculating the Maximum Duct Run Length

The maximum straight duct length for the hood is deter-

mined by the type of duct used. See the chart below.

DUCT SIZE MAXIMUM DUCT RUN

8" round 60 feet

10" round 50 feet

31/4"X 10" rectangular 50 feet

For each elbow and transition added to the duct work, a
certain number of feet must be subtracted from the maxi-

mum duct run to compensate for wind resistance. To deter-
mine the length the duct work cannot exceed, subtract all of

the equivalent lengths of the elbows and transitions listed

below from the maximum duct run above.

Duct Work Design Tips

Wherever possible, reduce the number of transitions and

turns to as few sharp angles as possible. Two staggered
45 ° angles are better than one 90°.

Keep turns as far away from the hood exhaust as possible,
and as much space between bends as possible.

For best performance, use round duct instead of rectangu-
lar, especially when elbows are required.

If multiple elbows are used, try to keep a minimum of 24"
straight duct between them.

Avoid "S" or "back to back" use of adjacent elbows.

In regions where the weather gets extremely cold, use ther-
mal breaks, such as a short section of non-metallic duct, to
avoid indoor heat loss. Locate the break as close as pos-
sible to the outside pass through point.

Do not use flexible metal duct.
Do not use duct work that is smaller in cross-sectional area

than the recommended types above.
