PROPER INSTALLATION/DUCTING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM ANY VENTILATION PRODUCT

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 90oelbow is equivalent to 5-10 feet (1.52 - 3.05 m) 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.

•Check with a qualified and trained installer or local codes for makeup air requirement, if any.

3. •Max. amp rating for hoods includes recommended ventilator kit rating; all products must be hard wired direct with 2-wire with ground.

NOTE: IF INSTALLING HOOD WITH WARMING SHELF PANEL, INSTALL WARMING SHELF PANEL FIRST.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•Before beginning, please read these instructions completely and carefully.

•Do not remove permanently affixed labels, warnings, or plates from the product. This may void the warranty.

•Please observe all local and national codes and ordinances. If no local codes are applicable, wire in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.

•Outdoor approved models should be installed in a covered nonenclosed area and should be protected from the elements as much as possible.

•The installer should leave these instructions with the consumer who should retain for local inspector’s use and for future reference.

•Check with a qualified and trained installer or local codes for

makeup air requirement, if any.

This hood is for residential installation only and is not designed for installation over a commercial product. Make sure power is off at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before making connections.

To avoid risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, turn off the electricity to the hood from the power supply before servicing or cleaning.

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.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

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. WARNING!: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

6. CAUTION!: 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.

IMPORTANT SERVICE INSTRUCTOINS

-CAUTION-

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

CAUTION

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.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGETOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

(based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published by

NFPA)

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitted lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

•You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

•The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

•The fire department is being called.

•You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

PREPARING FOR HOOD INSTALLATION

Plan where the ductwork will be located. See pages 9-12 for rough-in dimensions. Install proper-sized duct work, and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are using. Adjust your measurements for various heights of ceilings, soffits, cabinets, or ranges/rangetops.

INSTALLING HOOD CANOPY (Indoor/Outdoor VWH Models Only)

Center the wood strip (provided 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.

NOTE: BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE HOOD - MAKE SURE THAT THE WOOD STRIP MOUNTING SCREWS ARE DRIVEN INTO THE FRAMING AND NOT JUST THE DRYWALL. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO DRILL ADDITIONAL HOLES IN THE CANOPY FOR PROPER ALIGNMENT.

HEIGHT OF INDOOR HOOD

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. The bottom of the hood should never be more than 72” (182.9 cm) above the floor or more than 36” (91.4 cm) above the countertop. These dimensions provide for safe and efficient operation of the hood.

HEIGHT OF OUTDOOR HOOD

The bottom of the hood should be 30” (76.2 cm) to 36” (91.4 cm) above the grill surface. The hood should be installed 41/2” (11.4 cm) plus the distance between the back trim and surface from the back wall. (NOTE: There is a 3” minimum clearance from the back trim to noncombustible surfaces and a 24” minimum to combustible surfaces.) This will require building the hood out from the wall. Any combustible material used for this purpose must be covered with locally supplied stainless steel. It is also recommended a backsplash be used with outdoor installations.

INSTALLING ROUGH-IN PLATE AND CONNECTING DUCT - INTERNAL POWER

(Also see instructions supplied with ventilator kit)

1. Attach rough-in plate to studs in the inside, top of hood with four (4) #10-24 nuts provided.

2. Connect ductwork using supplied transition and damper (transition and damper are part of rough-in plate on some models). Use duct tape to make all joints secure and air tight. In some installations, it is easier to attach transition to plate before attaching plate to hood.

3. Remove wire box cover. Remove a knockout from the wiring box. Feed 6” of power cable through opening and attach cable to wiring in wiring box with appropriate connector. WARNING: MAKE SURE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY IS OFF.

4. Wire black to black, white to white, and green or bare wire beneath green ground screw. Replace wire box cover.

5. Plug the rough-in plate power cord into the receptacle located on the top side of the light panel.
