directly above the range should be avoided.

IMPORTANT

See the diagram for minimum installed distance from
the hood to the cooktop surface. The minimum specified
distance may be higher for the particular range or
cooktop in use. Check the manufacturers specifications
for the cooktop or range.

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

• Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions
are met or exceeded.

• Dimensions given are minimum clearances, unless oth­erwise noted.

• All contact surfaces between the RNIVS and any cabi­netry or walls must be sturdy, solid, and at right angles.

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

• Local building codes may require the use of makeup air

systems with ventilation systems that move air greater
than the specified movement rate (CFM). The specified
rate varies based on locale. Consult a qualified HVAC
specialist when designing the system for the require­ments in your area and to assure optimal performance.

Meeting Electrical Codes

WARNING

Make sure electrical service to the RNIVS is installed by a licensed electrician.

It is the owner’s responsibility to confirm that all electrical
requirements are met by a qualified electrician who is
servicing this appliance.

The electrical installation, including the minimum supply­wire size and grounding, must be in accordance with the
National Electric code ANSI/NFPA* (or latest revision), local
codes, and ordinances.

*A copy of this standard can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101

• The ground terminal inside the RNIVS must be con­nected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring sys­tem, or to a grounding conductor installed by a licensed
electrician.

Preparation and Setup

Planning the Ductwork

WARNING

• To prevent combustion by-products, smoke or odors
from entering the home and to improve efficiency, tape
all duct joints securely.

• 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 ductwork
may result in a backdraft and/or insufficient venting of
smoke and fumes.

• DO NOT install an additional 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.

CAUTION

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.

WARNING

During duct installation, make sure there are no
obstructions that keep the damper flaps on the top of the
hood from opening.

• Local building codes may require the use of makeup air
systems with ventilation systems that move air greater
than the specified movement rate (CFM). The specified
rate varies based on locale. Consult a qualified HVAC
specialist when designing the system for the require­ments in your area and to assure optimal performance.

• All ductwork materials (including screws and foil tape)
must be purchased separately by the customer.

• Make sure ductwork does not interfere with floor joists
or wall studs.

• On dual exhaust models, the two 8-inch exhausts may
be merged into one 10-inch duct using Dacor transition
kit ATD10. See page 12 for details.

• Fasten all joints with sheet metal screws and seal with
certified duct tape or foil tape.

• When planning new ductwork, always look for the
shortest, most direct route to the outside.

• To prevent a backdraft, never decrease the duct size
over the run. If existing ductwork is smaller than 8
inches in diameter, remove it and replace it with 8-inch
ductwork.

Duct Length Calculation Table

The maximum straight duct length for the hood is deter­mined by the type of duct used. See the chart below.

Duct Size Maximum Duct Run

8-inch Round 60 feet

10-inch Round 50 feet

3 1/4-in x 10-in Rectangular 50 feet

For each elbow and transition added, a certain length must
be subtracted from the maximum duct run to compensate
for wind resistance.

Use the chart below to determine the maximum length of
your duct run:

1. Write the total length of your duct run, then

2. Subtract all of the ductwork equivalent lengths in the
chart below.

Ductwork Tips

Wherever possible, reduce the number of transitions, turns,
and sharp angles. Two staggered 45° angles are better
than one sharp 90° angle.

Keep turns as far away from the RNIVS exhaust as pos­sible, and keep as much space between any 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 at least 24 inches of
straight duct between each elbow.

Avoid using “S” or back-to-back adjacent elbows.

In extremely cold weather regions, use thermal breaks, i.e.,
short sections 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 ductwork that is
smaller than what is advised in the tables.

To prevent backdrafts, a damper at the duct outlet may
also be required.

NOTE: If using a liner kit with the RNIVS, please
follow the instructions on page 13.

When hanging the RNIVS, be careful not to scratch or
damage the unit.

1. Remove the plastic film from the RNIVS.

2. Install a 3/8” spacer on the back of the RNIVS, or
install a spacer on the canopy or wall.

Refer to the figures on the facing page.

3. Choose and measure the top and rear mounting holes
that will mount the RNIVS to the canopy or wall. See
figure, Mounting Holes at right.

Mark the measurements on the canopy or wall.

This is where screws will hold the RNIVS to the wall
studs or anchors.

4. Drill pilot or anchor holes. If using anchors, insert them
into the anchor holes.

5. Raise and adjust the RNIVS into its final position, and
fasten it into place using appropriate mounting screws
or fastening hardware.

NOTE: If using the RNIVS without a liner kit, use
a 3/8” spacer.

See the next page.

Adding a Spacer

If using the RNIVS without a liner kit, use a
3/8” spacer:

The flange circling the bottom of the unit will not
allow the unit to lay flat against a wall.

Therefore, use a 3/8” spacer behind the rear
mounting holes to ensure that the unit lays flush
against the wall or canopy.

See images below that illustrate the 3/8” flange exten­sion that prevents the unit from being flush against a
wall.

Hardwiring the Hood

WARNING

• To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, make sure that
power to the RNIVS power supply line is turned OFF
at the fuse box or circuit breaker before connecting
the electrical wiring.

• Miswiring the RNIVS electrical wiring can create an
electric shock or fire hazard and could damage the
RNIVS’ electrical system. See page 25-26.

• Do not ground the wires to the neutral (white) wire.
Connect the ground wire to a separate, properly
grounded ground-wire installed by a licensed electri­cian.

• Make sure that all wire used is the correct gauge and
capable of handling the total connected loads and
meeting all codes.

The above right diagram shows how to wire the blower(s)
to the RNIVS control panel.

The lower right diagram shows how to hardwire the unit to
the home’s circuit breaker (main power source).

Installation Instructions

Inserting Dimmable Light Bulbs

Size: PAR16, E26/27
75 Watt max., 60 Amp

Make sure dimmable bulbs are used. The electronic board
is designed for dimmable light bulbs and using non-dimma­ble types will cause damage and faulty performance.

Shut the main circuit breaker OFF while inserting new
bulbs or while changing bulbs. If an electrical short occurs

while the main power circuit is ON, significant damage can
occur.

Follow the diagram to the right.

1. Insert a bulb into one of the light sockets.

2. Attach the suction cup to the lens of a dimmable light
bulb. (Both are supplied parts.)

Make sure the bulbs are clean and dry so the
suction cup will stick.

3. Screw it into place and remove the suction cup.

4. Repeat for the remaining light fixtures.

5. Switch the main circuit power ON.
