Installation Instructions
wArning
Do not install the range hood unless the electrical •
service provided meets the range hood specifica-
tions.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances during
•
installation. Contact your local building department
for further information.
A qualified technician must complete the installa-
•
tion of this built-in appliance. More than one person
is required to raise the hood into place. The owner
is responsible to make sure the hood is properly
installed.
Start by removing the filters from the bottom of the 1.
hood. Put them in a safe location so that they will not
be damaged.
If the hood will be installed in a top exhaust configuration,
skip to AHT10 Transition Kit Installation. If the hood will
be installed so that air will exhaust out of the back, the duct
collar(s) must be moved to the rear before hanging the
hood.
Place the hood assembly on a large flat surface. 2.
Remove and save the duct collar screws from the top 3.
of the unit. See below. If the unit has two duct collars,
remove both sets of screws.
Remove the duct collar(s).
4.
Remove and save the cover plate screws and the 5.
cover plate(s) on the back of the hood.
Using the existing screws, attach the cover plate 6.
removed in step 5 to the top of the hood to cover the
hole.
Attach the duct collar(s) removed in step 2 to the back
7.
of the unit using the existing screws.
AHT10 Transition Kit Installation
On dual exhaust models, the two 8” exhausts may be
merged into one 10” duct using Dacor transition kit AHT10.
Install the transition before installing the hood on the wall. It
connects to the hood on the top or rear, depending on the
type of installation.
Preparing the AHT10 for Installation
Prepare the transition for installation by bending the bot-
tom edges at right angles to create a ¾” flange around the
base. iMportAnt: On 12” high hoods modified to exhaust
out the rear, leave one of the long edges unbent.
Drill pilot holes around the edges of the mounting flange
including the unmodified edge, if the transition will be
mounted to the back of a 12” high hood (see above).
