Installation Instructions

[STEP 1]ADVANCE PLANNING

Plan the location
Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

• Use a plumb bob to check location to be sure
countertop/cooktop location below the hood will
align exactly,

• The hood should project tin'ward l-I/2" beyond the

fl'ont edge of the cooking appliance. See illustration.

• Observe the recommended space (30") betweei'J the
cooking surtace and bottom of hood.

Ceiling support structure

• At the hood location, install 2 x 4 rain, cross fi'aming
between ceiling joists as shown. (2x4's are required to

support the weight,)

• The 2 x 4 cross fl'aming can be installed standing or
flat, depending on duct i'/in. See illustration.

[STEP 11CONTINUED

• Arrange cross fl'aming in the ceiling to suit the
existing structure. See examples.

- Secure each 2 x 4 block with at least four (4), #10
wood screws, 3" hmg (not supplied). Use 8 wood

screws total for the two supports.

• The cross framing must be accurately aligned to
assure correct positioning of the hood.

• The cross framing must be level in all directions.

Check with a spirit level and a(!just if necessary.

IMPORTANT: The ceiling structure mustbe capable of
supporting the weight of the hood (approximately 300 pounds) and

any inadvertent user contact loads.Thehood support frame will
be supported bythe 2x 4 min. cross framing.

Ductwork

• Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.
For satist, mtory pertormance, duct run should not
exceed 100 feet equivalent length tor any duct
configuration.

• Reter to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the maxi-
mum permissible length for duct runs to the out-

doors.

• This vent hood must use 8" round duct. The 8"
round duct can transition to 3-1/4" x 12".

• Install the house ductwork to run horizontally
between ceiling.joists or straight up through the roof.

Finish the Ceiling

• Finish the ceiling surtace. Be sure to mark location
of the ceiling.joists and cross fl'aming. Check to be
sure the ceiling is level, use shims if necessary.
