Viking Range hoods are equipped with variable speed
controls for blowers. These units will not function with a
single
speed ventilator. All Viking Range ventilator kits are
designed specifically for use with Viking Range hoods.
Use of
any non-Viking Range ventilator kit will void the hood
warranty.

1. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

2. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow
the heating equipment manufacturer’s 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.

3. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

4. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

5.

WWAARRNNIINNGG!!::

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal

ductwork.

6.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN!!::

To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings, or into
attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN

For general ventilating use only. Do not use

to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials

and vapors.

WWAARRNNIINNGG

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, RANGEHOODS MUST BE
INSTALLED WITH THE VENTILATORS THAT ARE
SPECIFIED ON THEIR CARTON INDICATING
SUITABILITY WITH THIS MODEL. OTHER VENTILATORS
CANNOT BE SUBSTITUTED.

FFIIRREE::

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high
setting. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.

2. Always turn hoon ON when cooking at high
heat or when cooking flaming foods.

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.

1. •All CFMs stated are based on tests at .1 static pressure: without applying static pressure, CFM would be greatly
overstated.

2. •Duct run length is for general reference only; for longer duct runs, increase duct size and contact a qualified and trained
installer.

•Straight runs and gradual turns are best; for example, each 90

o

elbow is equivalent to 5-10 feet (1.52 - 3.05 cm) of

straight run.

•Never use flexible duct; it creates back pressure/air turbulence and greatly reduces performance.

•Proper performance is dependent upon proper ducting; make sure that a qualified and trained installer is used.

The bottom of the hood should be 30” (76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max. above the countertop. This would
typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66” (167.6 cm) to 72” (182.9 cm) above the floor. For best
performance, it is recommended that the bottom of the hood be 30” (76.2 cm) to 33” (83.8 cm) above the
countertop. These dimensions provide for safe and efficient operation of the hood.

Plan where the ductwork will be located. See pages 8-11 for rough-in dimensions. Install proper-sized duct work, and
roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are using. Recommended hood locations for the most common
installations are shown on page 2.
Adjust your measurements for various heights of ceilings, soffits,
cabinets, or ranges/rangetops.

Center the wood strip (acquired locally - see drawing for dimensions) and attach to wall. Using the slot located on
the backside of the canopy, place the hood onto the wood strip. Secure the hood to strip with mounting screws
provided. Make sure that the wood strip mounting screws are driven into the framing and not just the drywall. Use
additional mounting screws (and wall anchors if necessary) in the other holes.
