Ducting Options and Examples
Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual.
All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this
manual, is declined.
Venting methods
Vent Exhaust Option
The hood is designed for vertical or horizontal
discharge or can be installed in a recirculating
ductless version:
Vertical discharge:
Use a rectangular duct 3 1/4” x 10” or use a round 7” duct.
Horizontal discharge:
Use a rectangular duct 3 1/4” x 10”
Recirculating (non vented ductless)
NOTE: For ductless (Recirculating) version only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit.
Minimum Duct Size (Ducting/Ductless version): 7" Round Pipe.
Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. The lower the hood is above the cooktop, the more efficient the
capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke.
CAUTION: FOR GAS RANGES INSTALLATION: MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE IS AT 30" (76,2 CM)
ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE.
FOR ELECTRIC RANGES INSTALLATION: MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM IS NOT LESS THAN 24" (61 CM)
AND NOT MORE THAT 30" (76,2 CM) ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE.
HOUSEHOLD USE. PLEASE, READ INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.

Installation
Installation - Ducting version
After having choosen the vent option, proceed as
follows:
Step 2
Remove the round transition from its seat by
unscrewing the its fixing screws (save the screws).
Step 5
Remove the duct knockouts using a flat blade
screwdriver and a small hammer.
Use the screwdriver by knocking out the pannel in
similar fashion to a scalpel.
Take care of sharp edges.
Attention!
If it is intended to use the hood in the recirculating
version do not remove any duct knockouts and order
the necessary charcoal filter from your supplier.
Remove either the top or the back wiring knockout
according the preference and install an approved
wiring clamp
Step 6
For rectangular ducted discharge installations only
(otherwise skip to next step)
Attach exhaust adaptor/damper over knockout
opening with two exhaust adaptor screws. Make
sure
damper pivot is nearest to top/back edge of hood.
Remove tape from damper flap.
NOTE: The exhaust adaptor/damper can be installed
up to 1 inch on either side of the hood center to
accommodate off-center ductwork. In extreme offcenter
installations, one end of the duct connector
may need to be trimmed to clear the electrical cable
clamp.
8
Step 7
For round ducted discharge installations only
Re-install the round transition with its screws.
NOTE: The round transition can be installed up to 1
inch on either side of the hood center to
accommodate off-center ductwork. In extreme offcenter
installations, one end of the duct connector
may need to be trimmed to clear the electrical cable
clamp.
• Use the diagram or the hood as a template and mark the
locations on the cabinet for ductwork, electrical wiring and
keyhole screw slots.
Step 8
Mark holes
Select the vent option that your installation will
require and proceed to that section:
Outside top exhaust
(Vertical duct– 3 1/4”x 10” Rectangular)
Use the diagram or the hood as a template and mark
the locations on the cabinet for ductwork, electrical
wiring and keyhole screw slots.
Outside top exhaust
(Vertical duct–7” Round)
Use the diagram or the hood as a template and
mark the locations on the cabinet for ductwork,
electrical wiring and keyhole screw slots.
Recirculating
Use the hood as a template and mark the locations
on the cabinet for the electrical wiring and keyhole
screw slots.
Since the hood is to be recirculated (not to be vented
outside), do not cut out any vent openings in the wall
or cabinet bottom.
Step 9
Choose Venting Option
The hood can be set to vent outside or to recirculate
air back into the kitchen.
The plastic vent lever is located near the center of the
hood opening.
To vent to the outside, make sure the plastic vent
lever is in the HORIZONTAL position (flat against the
metal top of the hood).
To recirculate air into the kitchen, make sure the
plastic vent lever is in the VERTICAL position (flat
against the plastic blower housing).
NOTE: In order to change the vent lever position, you
will need to pull the lever out slightly to clear the
plastic tabs.
9
Step 10
For recessed bottom cabinet only
If the cabinets have front, side or back trim, make 2
wood shims the width of the trim and attach them to
the cabinet bottom recess on both sides. See
previous page for marking locations.
Step 11
Cut holes at marked locations for duct and electrical
wiring. For the vertical duct, cut out 3/4” extra toward
the front of the cabinet so you can move the duct
freely when installing the hood.
It may also ease installation by cutting the hole 10 1/
2” instead of 10”.
Step 12
Drive a mounting screw (from the hardware packet)
partway into each center of the narrow neck of the
keyhole slots marked on the cabinet bottom.
Step 13
Fix the wiring conduit to the hood.
Run 3 wires; black, white and green ,according to the
National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances, in 1/2" conduit from service panel to
junction box.
Connect black wire from service panel to black or red in
junction box, white to white and green to green-yellow.
Close and secure junction box cover.
Step 16
Final installation steps
Replace filters.
Check operation of the hood.
If range hood does not operate:
• Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped or the house
fuse blown.
• Disconnect power supply. Check that wiring is correct.
To get the most efficient use from your new range hood,
read the “Use and Care Information” section.
Keep your Installation Instructions and Use and Care
Guide close to range hood for easy reference.
Step 14
Slide the hood back against the wall. Tighten the
mounting screws. Be sure the screw heads are in the
narrow neck of the keyhole slot.
Connect Ductwork to hood.
