.
NOTE: Unit must be vented
to outside of the building.
Decide on vertical or horizontal air discharge. For
vertical air discharge remove the top air discharge
knockout plates. To remove, break the metal web holding
plate by placing a screwdriver at one corner of plate and
hitting screwdriver sharply with hammer. After breaking a
second web the plate can be flexed to break remaining
webs. For horizontal air discharge remove the air
discharge knockout plates from the rear wall of the hood.
Always wear eye protection.
For a vertical air discharge, with the hood mounted
under a cabinet (without duct cover), prepare cabinet for
mounting the hood per FIG
– 2. Use furring strips to level
cabinet mounting surfaces with any cabinet trims.
For a vertical air discharge and use of the duct cover
locate the prescribed ducting per FIG-3. Hood, ducting
and wiring should be completed before mounting duct
cover. See instructions included with duct cover for duct
cover mounting.
For a horizontal air discharge refer to FIG- 4. NOTE:
Wiring access is located on the top hood surface. See
FIG-2 for wiring access location.
Attach and secure the transition to the hood with #6 x 3/8”
sheet metal screws and tape all joints prior to installing the
hood. Attach hood to cabinet or wall using #10 wood
screws. Holes are located in the back panel and top panel
of the hood for mounting. Use minimum of four (4) #10 x
¾” wood screws to mount the hood. Longer screws are
required if wallboard or other nonstructural surfaces are
used between the hood and main mounting surface which
should be minimum of ¾” thick. When using rear holes for
mounting use proper anchors (#10) if not engaging the
wood structure. Prepare
cabinet for mounting the hood per
FIG
– 2. Use furring strips to level cabinet mounting
surface with any cabinet trims.
HINT: If you find vibration noise is present because of
Cabinet structure use additional screws, in holes available,
to rigidize mounting.
Connect 120 volts
– 15 amp, 60 Hz power supply through
the conduit hole in the top of hood, connecting to pigtail in
hood junction box white to white, black to black and
connect green ground wire to power supply ground wire per
local codes. The VEN100E/150E ventilator will require
revision of some wiring in the hood receptacle box and
possible modification of air discharge opening
– See
VEN100E/150E instructions.
NOTE: VEN150E requires a 20 AMP Power Supply
The recommended height from counter top or cooking
surface to the bottom edge of the hood is 30 to 36 inches.
Hood is recommended for use over domestic gas or electric
appliances. Not recommended for use over solid fuel fire
appliances
Vertical Air Discharge: After installing the hood, install
the internal blower (see FIG
– 1) unit by positioning the
blower into bracket
– A, notched blower bracket will center
blower. Rotate into position against hood top and secure
with #8 sheet metal screws via bracket
– B. To ease
assembly you should Predrive and then remove the #8 screw
before installing the blower. Horizontal Air Discharge:
Position blower into bracket
– C, rotate brackets – B against
top of hood and fasten per previous instructions. If the
remote ventilator is used see related instructions.
CAUTION: The hood is of sufficient weight that two
Installers are recommended to prevent injury or damage to
the hood in handling.
Turn the power on at the service entrance and check the
operation of the controls.
NOTE: Be sure that all dampers (Not Supplied) are
operating properly and are free to open.
BACKDRAFT DAMPER: It is recommended that a backdraft damper be used
in all installations. In cold weather installations it is necessary to use a backdraft
damper to minimize backflow of cold air into room. A non-metallic thermal
break should also be used to minimize conduction of outside temperatures
through the ductwork. The thermal break should be located as close as possible
to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house. SAFTY WARNING:
Turn off power circuit at
the service entrance and
lockout panel before
wiring the range hood.
