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

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW

•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-latest edition.

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

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 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.

CAUTION

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

WARNING

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 A RANGETOP GREASE FIRE:

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.

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 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.

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

HEIGHT OF HOOD

The bottom of the hood to 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.

INSTALLING HOOD CANOPY

(Before installing island hood canopy - skip
to page 5)

Center the canopy and attach to wall. Secure
the hood to wall with mounting screws
provided. Make sure that the 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 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.

PREPARING FOR HOOD INSTALLATION

Plan where the ductwork will be located. See pages 11-14 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.

INSTALLING THE DUCT COVER (wall hoods only)

1. Measure from top of the canopy to ceiling and subtract 1/8” (0.3 cm) for clearance.

2. Place the duct cover top inside the duct cover base and lower until desired height is found. (To eliminate
scratches, make a mark on the duct cover top for the desired lowering point by subtracting 18” (45.7 cm) from the
total height needed.)

3. Use the retaining nuts and bolts to fasten in place.

4. Slide the duct cover in place and fasten from inside canopy using the sheet metal screws provided.

5. Note: For installations with ceilings above 9’ (22.9 cm), use optional duct extensions. See product literature for

INSTALLING THE optional DUCT COVER (island hoods only)

1. Cut hole in ceiling for correct diameter duct.

2. Attach duct cover/soffit to ceiling. Make sure there is enough support in the ceiling to support at least 200 lbs.
(Center duct cover/soffit with duct opening)

3. Run duct work down to bottom edge of duct cover/soffit and secure in place. (Make sure the duct does not stick
down past the cover/soffit.)

4. Attach duct cover/soffit to the top of the canopy with nuts and bolts provided. (Additional support can be added
by running threaded rod from the ceiling to the top of the canopy at all four corners using the holes provided.)

5. Install blower (see ventilator kit installation).
