adjacent studs. Additional studs may need to be framed into the opening to attach dry
wall or secure the hood. If this is your situation Air King recommends that you hire a
professional and comply with all applicable codes.
2. Install the proper sized outlet adapter (available separately) to the hood by matching
up the four holes on the flange of the adapter to the four corresponding holes on the
hood and secure in place with the provided screws. Ensure an airtight seal around
the adapter by securing all connections with ducting tape
(Figure 6).
3 When there is access to the top of the unit, connect the ducting to the duct collar
and secure in place using tape to seal all joints
(Figure 6).
4. When there is no access to the top of the hood, carefully pull down the metal duct
through the custom hood base hole. Slide this duct over the duct collar. Make sure
the adapter/damper assembly enters the ducting. Seal the connection with duct tape.

Wiring
CAUTION:
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL
WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Remove the two wire compartment cover screws
to gain access into the wire compartment
(Figure
7).
Connect the white wire from the range hood to
the white wire from the supply, and the black wire
from the range hood to the black wire of the supply.
Connect the ground wire from the home (green or
bare) to the ground wire (green) from the hood. Use
approved methods for all connections
(Figure 8).
2. Replace the wire compartment cover and tighten
screws. Make sure all wiring is securely contained
within the wire compartment. If the quick connect
wire connector was removed from the receptacle,
replace. The connector will only fit one way into
the receptacle
(Figure 7).

Finishing the Installation
1. Install the proper lighting for your specific unit:
Halogen Lamps:
Use PAR16, 45W maximum lamps (available separately).
Install by inserting lamp into socket and turning clockwise until lamp is firmly
seated. DO NOT over tighten.
2. If the included removable grease trough is not already installed within the hood,
insert into the rear inside channel of the hood. Make sure the taller side of the
trough is facing towards the back of the hood
(Figure 9).
3. Install the baffle filters by inserting the top of the filter into the top channel of the
hood, then slide the bottom of the filter into the bottom channel. The filters have a
top and a bottom. The bottom of the filter will have small drain holes. These holes
must be facing down towards the grease trough to be effective
(Figure 10).
SECTION 9
Operation
Controls
Your Range Hood is equipped with two rotary switches with one controlling the lighting
and the other controlling the exhaust fan blower. The light switch has three positions,
High, Low, and Off. The fan switch has four positions, Off, High, Medium, and Low
(Figure 11).
NOTE:
On installation where a One (1) speed blower is utilized, all blower control
speeds operate at the same speed. On installation where a Two (2) speed blower is
utilized, the Medium and High speeds operate at the same speed.
