.
NOTE:
Unit
must
be vented
to outside of the building.
Prepare soffit or other surface for mounting the hood by
using a minimum 3/4 inch thick plywood mounting plate
prepare with the FIG-1. NOTE THAT A MINIMUM 2-3/4
inch soffit overhang is required to achieve a sufficient
structural support base. The overhang, of course, can be
greater than 2-3/4. Note the position of the hood front
relative to the opening in the mounting plate refer to
FIG-1.
Provide an adequate support structure for attaching the
prepared mounting plate to ceiling structure. Local
building codes should be adhered to at all times.
Remember that your new hood is of sufficient weight that
an adequate support structure is necessary.
Attach and secure the transition to the hood with #6 x 3/8
inch sheet metal screw after inserting one flange of the
transition under the hood flange (Detail instruction is
included with transition). Tape all joints prior to installing
the hood, being careful not expose tape beyond outer edge
of hood top flange. Attach the hood to the prepared
mounting plate and soffit using # 10 wood screws. Holes
are located in the top panel
–
HINT: marking and pilot
drilling these holes in the mounting plate will aid
installation. The # 10 wood screws should be a minimum
of 3/4 inches long if no other surfaces is located between
the mounting base and hood. If drywall or other surfaces
are positioned between the hood and mounting base the
#10 wood screws must be
longer to provide a full 3/4”
engagement of the screw into the mounting plate.
HINT:
If you find vibration noise is present because of
cabinet/mounting 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 20AMP 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
After installing the hood, install the internal blower (see
FIG-2) unit by positioning the blower into bracket- A,
notched blower bracket will center blower, rotating into
position against hood top, and securing with #8 sheet metal
screws via bracket
–
B. To ease assembly you should
predrive the #8 sheet metal screws before installing the
blower. 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 installed 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.
