The electric service to the range hood should be installed
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 revision) and local codes and ordinances.
*A copy of this standard may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association

Planning the Installation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, •
be sure to duct air outside the house or building. Do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
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 constructed of materials 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 recommendation 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 venting 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.
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 A or the back B .
A
B
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 require 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 determined by the type of duct used. See the chart below.
DUCT SIZEMAXIMUM DUCT RUN
8” round60 feet
10” round50 feet
3¼” X 10” rectangular50 feet
For each elbow and transition added to the duct work, a
certain number of feet must be subtracted from the maximum duct run to compensate for wind resistance. To determine 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 rectangular, 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 thermal breaks, such as a short section of non-metallic duct, to
avoid indoor heat loss. Locate the break as close as possible 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.

Preparing for Installation
Verify the Package Contents
Unpack the parts box and verify that all parts have been
included according to the parts list on page 5. If any item
is missing or damaged, please contact the dealer immediately. Do not install a damaged or incomplete appliance.
Make sure you have everything necessary for proper installation before proceeding.
Mounting Location Preparation
WARNING
The electrical service to the range hood should be •
installed only by a licensed electrician.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances during •
site preparation and installation. Contact your local
building department for further information.
Failure to properly anchor the hood to the wall may •
result in personal injury due to the unit falling off the
wall.
To avoid an electric shock hazard and property dam-•
age, locate electric wires and water pipes and avoid
drilling or cutting in the vicinity.
Use the temporary mounting brackets only to hold •
the hood in place until permanent anchoring is
installed.
Temporary mounting brackets, and the •
screws and anchors to hold them in place
during installation are provided with the
hood. Two anchors and screws are used
per bracket.
Determine the number, size and type of •
anchors required to attach the hood permanently to the
wall and/or the cabinets based on the type of installation and the weight chart on page 3.
Make sure the mount-•
ing surface is properly
reinforced to handle the
full weight of the hood.
If mounting the unit to a
drywall or plastered surface, install a reinforced
mounting block between
the studs behind all hood
mounting locations. You
may attach screws directly
to the studs and cabinets
if they line up with the
mounting holes in the back
and top of the hood. If
mounting the hood to brick
or masonry, select anchors
capable of holding the full
weight of the hood.
Electrical Service Installation
WARNING
The electric service to the range hood should be installed
only by a licensed electrician.
Install a junction box in the vicinity of the hood electrical access holes according to local codes. Install it either
behind or above the hood. The diagram below shows suggested locations.
Drill 7/8” holes in the wall or cabinet as necessary to allow
the wiring to pass through into the hood. See page 4 for
hole locations.

Electrical
Location
Hood
Location
Duct Cutout
Using a pencil, draw the vertical center line for the 1.
range hood on the wall. Extend the line down 10” (25.4
cm) from where the top of the hood will be located.
The center line for the hood is usually halfway between
the cabinets at the installation location or the same as
the center line of the cooktop or range. The line will be
used to line up the mounting brackets during installation.
Locate the center lines for the duct cutout(s) according 2.
to the dimensions on page 4. For installations venting
through the top of the hood, use the top dimensions to
locate the center lines on the ceiling or cabinet bottom.
For installations venting through the back of the hood,
use the back dimensions to locate the center lines on
the back wall. See the diagrams on the right.
Cut a hole for the duct to pass through 11” (28 cm) in 3.
diameter. Center it on the center lines. Dual exhaust
models require two (2) holes.

AHT10 Transition Kit Installation
On dual exhaust models, the two 8” exhausts may be
merged into one 10” duct using Dacor transition kit AHT10.
Install the transition before installing the hood on the wall. It
connects to the hood on the top or rear, depending on the
type of installation.
Preparing the AHT10 for Installation
Prepare the transition for installation by bending the bottom edges at right angles to create a ¾” flange around the
base. IMPORTANT: On 12” high hoods modified to exhaust
out the rear, leave one of the long edges unbent.
IMPORTANT: For proper
operation, route and secure
the harness exactly as shown.
Tip the hood back down so that the top of the hood 14.
faces up. Using existing screws, attach the cover plates
removed in step 3 to the top of the hood to cover the
holes.
Attach the duct collars removed in step 2 to the back of 15.
the unit using the existing screws.
Cable tie if
necessary
Leave this edge unmodified,
bend up other three.
Transition Flange Prep:
All models using top
exhaust and 18” high
models with rear exhaust
Drill pilot holes around the edges of the mounting flange
including the unmodified edge, if the transition will be
mounted to the back of a 12” high hood (see above).

Mounting Bracket Installation
Draw the horizontal center line for the temporary 1.
mounting brackets on the wall. The center line for the
brackets is 2 1/8” (54 cm) below where the top of the
hood will be located. The horizontal line marks the center line of the mounting screws that hold the temporary
mounting brackets in place. IMPORTANT: Installing the
brackets lower or higher than the center line shown will
cause alignment problems during final installation.
Draw the two (2) vertical center lines for the brackets 2.
on the wall. They are located on both sides of the hood
center line drawn on the wall before making the duct
cut-out. The distance from the center line depends on
the model. See the chart below.
Find the temporary mounting bracket in the shipping 3.
box. Put the bracket against the wall and line up the
center hole with the intersection of the bracket center
lines on the wall. Make sure the anchors and/or screws
used are strong enough to support the hood. Make

Planning the Installation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, •
be sure to duct air outside the house or building. Do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
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 constructed of materials 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 recommendation 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 venting of smoke and fumes.
DO NOT• install more than one in-line or external
blower 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.
The ventilation system consists of hood and a single •
remote or single in-line blower.
A Dacor remote or in-line blower must be installed for •
the hood to operate properly. Only one blower shall be
installed.
The EHR series hoods cannot be installed with any •
other blower type than the models indicated below. For
directions on installing the blower, see the REMP3/16,
ILHSF8/10 installation instructions.
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 require 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 10 for details.
When planning new duct work, always look for the •
shortest, most direct route to the outside. The duct collar can be moved to accommodate venting (and wiring)
through the top A or the back B .

Calculating the Maximum Duct Run Length
The maximum straight duct length for the hood is determined by the type of duct used. See the chart below.
DUCT SIZEMAXIMUM DUCT RUN
8” round60 feet
10” round50 feet
For each elbow and transition added to the duct work, a
certain number of feet must be subtracted from the maximum duct run to compensate for wind resistance. To determine 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°.
Preparing for Installation
Keep turns as far away from the hood exhaust as pos-•
sible, and as much space between bends as possible.
For best performance, use round duct instead of rect-•
angular, 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 •
thermal breaks, such as a short section of non-metallic
duct, to avoid indoor heat loss. Locate the break as
close as possible 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.
Verify the Package Contents
Unpack the parts box and verify that all parts have been
included according to the parts list on page 5. If any item
is missing or damaged, please contact the dealer immediately. Do not install a damaged or incomplete appliance.
Make sure you have everything necessary for proper installation before proceeding.
Mounting Location Preparation
WARNING
The electrical service to the range hood should be •
installed only by a licensed electrician.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances during •
site preparation and installation. Contact your local
building department for further information.
Failure to properly anchor the hood to the wall may •
result in personal injury due to the unit falling off the
wall.
To avoid an electric shock hazard and property dam-•
age, locate electric wires and water pipes and avoid
drilling or cutting in the vicinity.
Use the temporary mounting brackets only to hold •
the hood in place until permanent anchoring is
installed.
Temporary mounting brackets, and the •
screws and anchors to hold them in place
during installation are provided with the
hood. Two anchors and screws are used
per bracket.
Determine the number, size and type of •
anchors required to attach the hood permanently to the
wall and/or the cabinets based on the type of installation and the weight chart on page 3.
Make sure the mounting surface is properly reinforced •
to handle the full weight
of the hood. If mounting
the unit to a drywall or
plastered surface, install
a reinforced mounting
block between the studs
behind all hood mounting
locations. You may attach
screws directly to the
studs and cabinets if they
line up with the mounting
holes in the back and top
of the hood. If mounting the hood to brick or
masonry, select anchors
capable of holding the full
weight of the hood.

The center line for the hood is usually halfway between
the cabinets at the installation location or the same as
the center line of the cooktop or range. The line will be
used to line up the mounting brackets during installation.
Locate the center lines for the duct cutout(s) according 2.
to the dimensions on page 4. For installations venting
through the top of the hood, use the top dimensions to
locate the center lines on the ceiling or cabinet bottom.
For installations venting through the back of the hood,
use the back dimensions to locate the center lines on
the back wall. See the diagrams on the right.
Cut a hole for the duct to pass through 11” (28 cm) in 3.
diameter. Center it on the center lines. Dual exhaust
models require two (2) holes.

A qualified technician must complete the installa-•
tion of this built-in appliance. More than one person
is required to raise the hood into place. The owner
is responsible to make sure the hood is properly
installed.
Start by removing the filters from the bottom of the 1.
hood. Put them in a safe location so that they will not
be damaged.
If the hood will be installed in a top exhaust configuration,
skip to AHT10 Transition Kit Installation. If the hood will
be installed so that air will exhaust out of the back, the duct
collar(s) must be moved to the rear before hanging the
hood.
Place the hood assembly on a large flat surface.2.
Remove and save the duct collar screws from the top 3.
of the unit. See below. If the unit has two duct collars,
remove both sets of screws.
Remove the duct collar(s).4.
Remove and save the cover plate screws and the 5.
cover plate(s) on the back of the hood.
Using the existing screws, attach the cover plate 6.
removed in step 5 to the top of the hood to cover the
hole.
Attach the duct collar(s) removed in step 2 to the back 7.
of the unit using the existing screws.
AHT10 Transition Kit Installation
On dual exhaust models, the two 8” exhausts may be
merged into one 10” duct using Dacor transition kit AHT10.
Install the transition before installing the hood on the wall. It
connects to the hood on the top or rear, depending on the
type of installation.
Preparing the AHT10 for Installation
Prepare the transition for installation by bending the bottom edges at right angles to create a ¾” flange around the
base. IMPORTANT: On 12” high hoods modified to exhaust
out the rear, leave one of the long edges unbent.
