INSTALLATION PLANNING
A qualified installer must complete the installation of this built-in appliance. Proper
installation is your responsibility.
Carefully check the location where the hood is to be installed. The hood should be
placed for convenient access. Make certain that electrical power can be provided
in the selected location.
Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded.
Dimensions shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted.
Make certain that you have everything necessary to ensure a proper
installation before proceeding.

INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1 Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. Figure 5.
2 A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3 Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance
with longer duct runs.
4 Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork
sections.

INSTALLING THE SUPPORT SYSTEM
1 At hood location, install 2 x 4 cross framing between ceiling joists
using dimensions shown in Figure 6.
2 Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark the location of the
ceiling joists and cross framing.
3 Measure the ceiling height and determine distance between the cook
top and bottom of hood.
4 Per the chart, adjust overall length of the support frame as shown in
Figure 7. Remove and reinstall (4) screws in the height adjustment
slots to achieve proper length. Install (4) additional 3.9 x 9.5mm
screws and 4.5 diameter washers from the Hardware Parts Bag.

NOTE
A. Minimum hood distance above the cook top must not be less than 24”.
A maximum of 30” above the cook top is highly recommended for best
capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 30” above the cook top are at the installer’s and user’s
discretion - providing that the ceiling height and flue length permit.
B. Requires optional 10-foot flue extension model EXPV100S.
5 Secure the support frame to ceiling joists and cross framing with
(4) 6 x 70mm lag bolts and 6.4 diameter washers provided. Make
sure the bolts are driven into centers of joists and cross framing for
maximum strength. See Figure 8.
6 Run 2-wire plus ground electrical cable through the hole on top of
the support frame bracket. Cable length must extend at least 12”
below the bottom of the support frame. Secure cable to the support
frame with an appropriate cable connector.
