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.
WARNING- To reduce the risk of electrical shock or injury to persons, all vent hoods must be installed
with ventilators that have been approved for use with the hood.

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 nonmetallic 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 Vent Hood and Ventilator, PLAN OUT the entire installation procedure beforehand, considering the following areas:
1. 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).
2. DUCTING- (ducting transitions, air flows to outside? Use of Backdraft damper? ...etc.)
3. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS- (120 Volts, 60 Hz, 15 AMP Service, Local Codes...etc.)
4.ADEQUATE MOUNTING SURFACES- (location of wall studs, additional support for safe wall
mounting...etc.)
HANDLING NOTE- This Hood has been inspected prior to shipping to be free of defects. Due to the
weight of the 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.
INNER LINER REMOVAL:
The DCS Professional Vent Hood has been designed into (2) major assemblies to accommodate easy
and safe installation. The following procedure is best done with the Hood on its back on a padded surface. The inside liner assembly can be separated from the outer hood assembly by removing the (12)
inner perimeter screws- (3 each side/front/back). Once these screws have been removed, the liner
assembly can slide down to gain access to the male/female disconnect plug- See Fig.8 on page 5.After
the disconnect plug has been unplugged, the liner assembly can be set aside until the hood has been
installed into the soffit or wall.
