INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gasses through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guidelines and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
WARNING -- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
CAUTION
–
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside
– Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, cabinets or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
CAUTION
– To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this (range hood) only with Remote Blower
models rated maximum 5 amps.

PART 1 Planning the Installation
Trade-Wind
®
Designer Series Liners are designed for installation inside custom hood canopies. Proper installation
of the liner is directly related to the material from which the custom canopy is constructed. A qualified person must
complete the installation of this unit. Because of the large size and weight of this hood / liner, two installers are
recommended. Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown
provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise specified.
Important:
You must
provide structural framing and tight
backing in the areas in which you are securing the liner inside your custom canopy. Failure to do so could distort
and damage the liner and void the warranty.
For best and quietest performance with In-Line Blower installations, the blower should be installed
in the attic
, near
or slightly beyond the mid-point of the duct system. In installations requiring the blower be in a chase or wood-type
hood over the range (e.g., no attic above the kitchen), the duct silencer will not be as effective in absorbing motor
noise. In addition, there will likely be motor sound transmitted through the walls of the chase, bypassing the duct
silencer.
Given the high performance of Trade-Wind
®
In-Line Blowers, it is highly recommended that the blower NOT
be attached directly to the liner or in a chase immediately above the liner unless a Trade-Wind
®
brand duct
silencer is installed between the blower and liner and neoprene lined FC Clamps are used.
FC Clamps are
available from Trade-Wind
®
(Universal Metal Industries, Inc.) through your Trade-Wind
®
supplier. Ask for model
numbers FC6 (6‖), FC8 (8‖) or FC10 (10‖), 2 per box.
