Important Safety Instructions
WARNING:To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
A) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oil slowly on low or medium settings.
B) Always turn hood “ON” when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.
C) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
Make-Up air may be necessary to prevent air flowing down chimney, unsealed door, window, or fireplace
opening.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, observe the following
guidelines.
A) Installation and electrical wiring must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance
with all applicable codes & standards, including fire-rated construction.
B) To Prevent Backdrafting, sufficient air is needed to maintain proper combustion and safe
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment. Follow the cooking
equipment manufacturers guideline and safety standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
C) Use caution when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings as not to damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
CAUTION: To Reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air to outside. -do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling, nor into attics, crawl spaces, or
garages.
NOTE: Unit MUST be vented to the outside of the building.
IMPORTANT: Refer to ducting information supplied on Pg. 11

Planning the Installation
BACKDRAFT DAMPER
We recommend that a backdraft damper be used in all Vent Hood installations. Cold weather installations necessitate the use of a backdraft damper to minimize the flow of cold air into the room.A
non-metallic thermal break should also be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures
through the ductwork. Locate the thermal break as close as possible to where the ducting enters the
heated portion of the house.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Before beginning installation of the Island Vent Hood and Ventilator, PLAN OUT the entire installation
procedure beforehand, considering the following areas:
• HOOD SIZE & LOCATION- (The hood should be as wide or wider than the cooking
appliance with the hood being centered on the appliance.Vertically, the bottom of the hood
should be between 30”-36” above the appliance cooking surface.)
• DUCTING- (ducting transitions, air must flow to outside, use of Backdraft damper...etc.)
• ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS- (120 Volts, 60 Hz, 15 AMP Service, Local Codes...etc.)
• ADEQUATE MOUNTING SURFACES- (To support the weight of the vent hoods, location of
ceiling studs, additional support for safe ceiling mounting...etc.)
HANDLING NOTE: This Hood has been inspected prior to shipping to be free of defects. due to the
weight of the Island Vent Hood and Ventilator; and to prevent scratching or
denting the unit, we recommend the use of two installers to move, place, and
secure the Vent Hood to avoid personal injury or damage to the Hood.

Site Preparation and I nstallation G uidelines
SITE PREPARATION
You will need to create a secure soffit structure to mount the Island Vent Hood to the ceiling.We
suggest using 1 1/2” by 3 1/2“ wood cut to fit the installation as shown in the following pages.The soffit
mounting to the top of the Island Vent Hood will be 10 7/8“ in length for the DCS-IVH-48 and 10 3/4“
for the DCS-IVH-36.These dimensions allow room for a 1/2 drywall duct cover. Do not deviate from
these dimensions when choosing a duct cover as the soffit structure must align with the mounting
holes on the Island Vent Hood.You are limited to a maximum of 1/2 inch on all sides.
NOTE: You will need to determine which type of duct cover will be used before installation and leave
enough space around the soffit for a flush mount between the duct cover material and the top
of the Island Vent Hood.
CAUTION: When installing the ISLAND VENT HOOD directly to the ceiling, adequate structural
supports are critical to secure the unit.The Island Vent Hood is heavy, weighing 128 LBS for
the DCS-IVH-48 and 94 LBS for the DCS-IVH-36.
NOTE: The soffit height will vary according to the ceiling height.
GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
1) Determine the location for installation.
2) Determine the centerline of the installation.
3) If drywall is installed, cut away enough drywall to expose 2 ceiling joist (1 on each side of the
Hood center line)
4) Create your soffit structure according to ceiling height and attach soffit plates for DCS-IVH-36
or soffit brackets for DCS-IVH-48 with screws to sides (see the following pages for soffits and
construction).
5) Attach soffit structure to existing ceiling joist.
6) Secure soffit with soffit braces according to model type (see diagrams page 8-10).
7) Attach Island Vent Hood to soffit with the six 2 inch mounting screws provided.
FINISHING THE INSTALLATION:
Once the Island Vent Hood has been mounted in place it will be necessary to install the electrical
service. All electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician and must conform to all local
standards. Refer to the wiring diagram on Pg. 14 for proper hook-up and grounding.
NOTE: Black=live, White=neutral, Green=ground
Complete the installation by making ductwork connections, testing unit functions, and installing
& finishing drywall.
