Installation Instructions

Installation Checklist

 WARNING

•  To ensure a safe and proper installation, the follow-

ing checklist should be completed by the installer 

to ensure that no part of the installation has been 

overlooked.

•  Proper installation is the responsibility of the home-

owner. The importance of proper installation of your 

Dacor range hood cannot be overemphasized.

 

Is the blower assembly mounting bracket properly 

attached to the wall according to the instructions 

starting on page 7?

 

Is the blower assembly tightly secured to the mount-

ing bracket with the machine screws (see page 

9)?

 

Is the duct work completely installed? Are all joints 

attached with sheet metal screws and wrapped with 

duct tape (see pages 4 and 8)?

 

Is the range hood wired and grounded according to 

these instructions and in accordance with all appli-

cable electrical codes (see pages 4 and 10)?

 

Is the tempered glass hood attached to the blower 

assembly as specified in this manual (see page 

11)?

 

Are the filters properly installed according to the use 

and care manual?

 

Has proper operation been verified?

 

Has the warranty been activated on-line or the war-

ranty card filled out completely and mailed?

Verifying Proper Operation

1.  Turn on power at the junction or fuse box.
2.  If the control panel is not lit, turn on the main power 

switch located next to the light fixture on the under-

side of the hood.

3.  Touch the light key. Verify that all the lights come on. 
4.  Touch the light key again to turn the lights off.
5.  Touch the blower “

+

” key once and release. Verify 

that one light is showing on the blower speed indica-

tor and that the blower is on at low speed.

6.  Touch and release the blower “

+

” repeatedly, three 

times. Verify that with each touch of the key the num-

ber of lights on the blower speed indicator increases 

and that the blower speed increases.

7.  Touch and hold the blower “

-

” key until the blower 

turns off.

If the hood fails to operate properly:

•  Verify that power is supplied to the hood.
•  Check the electrical connections to ensure that the 

installation has been completed correctly.

•  Repeat the above test.
•  If the hood still does not work, contact Dacor 

Distinctive Service at (800) 793-0093 ex. 2822. Do 

not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If you 

need service, be sure to have the model and serial
