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-latest edition.
• Damp environment approved models should be installed in
a covered non-enclosed 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 hoods are equipped with variable speed control
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 nonViking Range ventilator kit will void the hood warranty.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, observe the following:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer.
• 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

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 firerated construction.
2. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases through the flute
(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 of drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
4. Ducted fans mustalways be vented to the outdoors.
5. WARNING!: To reduce 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.
7. CAUTION!: To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Electric
Shock, Install this rangehood only with remote
blower models manufactured by Viking, model
numbers – DEV900/DEV1200, VEV900, VIL1200,
OR DEV1500 or integral blowers manufactured by
Viking, model numbers – VINV300/600/1200, or
DIL1200. NOTE – Please refer inside for specific
canopy/blower combinations.

IMPORTANT–Please Read and Follow!
WA R NI N G
To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a
rangetop grease fire, observe the following. (Based on
“Kitchen FiresafetyTips,” 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 it is 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.

Clearance Dimensions
(VWHO/CVWHO 18”H. Outdoor Wall Hoods)
Note: Outdoor Models must be installed in a covered, non-enclosed area, and should be protected from the
elements as much as possible.
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 4-1/2”(11.4 cm) plus the distance between the back trim and surface from the back wall. (Note: DIM
“X” - There is a 3”minimum clearance from the back trim to non-combustible 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 to use a backsplash.
* A 1,200 CFM interior- or exterior-power ventilator should be used when installed over range/rangetop with gas char-grill. Max duct
run is 50 ft.
** It is recommended that the 1,500 CFM ventilator be used with longer duct runs. Max duct run is 75 ft.
NOTE: Maximum amp rating for hoods includes recommended ventilator kit rating; A ll products must be hard wired with 2-wire with
ground. An interior- or exterior-power ventilator kit must be purchased for installation with all 18”H. hoods.

Planning Information
Proper installation of ducting is extremely
important to ensure maximum performance from
any ventilation product.
• All CFMs are based on tests at 0.1 static pressure:
without applying static pressure, CFM would be
greatly overstated.
• Straight runs and gradual turns are best; for
example, each 90º 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 on 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.
• Max. amp rating forhoods includes recommended
ventilator kit rating; all products must behard wired
direct with 2-wire with ground.
Plan wherethe duct workwillbe located. Install propersized duct work, and roof orwallcapfor the type of
blower you are using. Recommended hood locations
forthe mostcommon installations are shown. Adjust
your measurements for variousheights of ceilings,
soffits, cabinets, or ranges/rangetops.
Check Framing
NOTE:Because of the weight of the hood make sure
that the mounting screws are driven into the framing
and not just the drywall.It may be necessary to drill
additionalholes in the canopy for proper alignment.
Attach transition to damper. Seal with aluminum tape.
