INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gasses through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guidelines 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) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoor.
WARNING -- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
CAUTION –To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside –
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, cabinets or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

PART 1 Planning the Installation
La Cornue Insert Series for Wood Hoods are designed for installation inside custom hood canopies. Proper
installation of the Insert is directly related to the material from which the custom canopy is constructed. A qualified
person must complete the installation of this unit. Because of the large size and weight of this hood / Insert, two
installers are recommended. Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded.
Dimensions shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise specified. Important: You must provide
structural framing and tight backing in the areas in which you are securing the Insert inside your custom canopy.
Failure to do so could distort and damage the Insert and void the warranty.
Given that most installations are different, a back-draft damper is not provided with this unit. Trade-Wind® back
draft dampers are also available from your local Trade-Wind® dealer. Always install ventilation products with an
approved wall or roof cap. Duct performance is improved by using round, smooth metal duct work instead of
rectangular. Do not rely on duct tape alone to seal duct joints. Use sheet metal screws as required to support the
duct.
WARNING! For maximum ventilation performance, the bottom of the hood or insert should be 30 36 inches (76.2 - 91.4 cm) above the cooking surface (minimum is 24”). This would typically result in the
bottom of the hood being 66 - 72 inches (167.6 - 182.9 cm) above the floor. These dimensions provide for
safe and efficient operation of the hood. Always observe local building codes.
