SECTION 2
Preparing the Area
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT
SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
CAUTION:
WHEN CUTTING OR DRILLING INTO WALL DO NOT
DAMAGE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND OTHER HIDDEN UTILITIES.
1. Most building codes require noncombustible material above the cooking surface. If
you you have wood or some other combustible material on the bottom of your cabinets
it is recommended that you use the optional hood liner (See
Section 3
) If you have
noncombustible material cut an appropriate size hole into the cabinet or canopy the
power unit will be mounted into
(Figure 1):
SEV24 models: 18" wide by 10" deep.
SEV28 models: 26-7/8"" wide by 10" deep.
SEV30 models: 30" wide by 10" deep
NOTE:
The hood must be mounted a minimum of 24” and a maximum of 36” from the
cooking surface.
SECTION 3
Optional Hood Liner
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE SURFACE YOU ARE MOUNTING THE
INSERT AND LINER TO IS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE WEIGHT OF THE UNIT.
OTHERWISE YOU WILL NEED TO REINFORCE THE AREA.

SECTION 5
Ducting
CAUTION:
ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING CODES.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY
METAL DUCTWORK.
1. Install the included duct collar to the hood with two of the provided #6 blunt tip screws
(Figure 4).
2
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 4).
3. 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.
NOTE:
To achieve proper air flow, 6" round ducting is required. The duct connector is 5.8" in
diameter (for 6" round ducting) and the center is located 3.1875" inches from the back wall.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS DUCT THE FAN TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH A
WALL OR ROOF CAP.
SECTION 6
Wiring

Examine the wire compartment cover and select the most convenient wire entrance
and remove the knock out. Feed the supply wire through the opening and install an
appropriate strain relief. Connect the white wire from the power unit to the white wire
from the supply. Connect the black wire from the power unit to the black wire of the
supply. Connect the ground wire from the home (green or bare) to the ground wire of the
power unit (green or green/yellow). Use approved methods for all connections
