Installation Details Continued
6) Remove the hood from its packaging and place on the floor or countertop in front of the cabinet where it will hang.
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
Warning: Make sure power is off and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
7) Determine whether the electrical wire will enter from the top or the back of the hood. Remove the electrical enclosure
cover (1 screw) and the top or back electrical enclosure knockout from the hood. Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed
electrical wire clamp through the electrical knockout. Install electrical wiring from the electrical panel to the hood
location.
8) Insert the electrical wire through the electrical wire clamp allowing 3” - 4” of wire inside the enclosure for hookup.
Tighten the electrical wire clamp.
9) From inside the hood, using UL listed wire nuts, attach the “neutral” wire to the white lead, the “hot” wire to the black
lead, and the ground wire to the green lead inside the junction box. Replace the electrical cover previously removed
in Step 7.
10) FOR BACK VENTING APPLICATIONS ONLY. IF YOU ARE NOT BACK VENTING, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 12.
Note: Wall studs may interfere with back venting installations.
Additional framing may be required. It is necessary to cut a
duct access hole in the wall prior to installing the hood. Starting
2 1/8” above the bottom edge of the hood, cut a hole 3 1/2”
high x 10 1/4” wide (see diagram at right).
11) Install the duct from the outside of the home to the duct access
hole in the wall. Where possible, use duct tape to seal joints.
12) While aligning the duct and guiding the wires, position the
hood under the cabinet. The duct should connect together
as the hood is located in place. Note: Unless using the VP521
transition, the duct work must fit inside the exhaust collar. If
using the VP521, 7” round duct should be placed with the non-
crimped end on the outside of the collar of the VP521 exhaust
outlet. Using the four screws provided, attach the hood to the
bottom of the cabinet.
14) Refer to the Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light
functions to ensure they are operating properly.

Because the Magic Lung
®
blower uses centrifugal filtration rather than conventional baffle or mesh filters, the Magic Lung
®
blower can handle cooking equipment with higher cubic feet per minute (CFM) requirements and can deliver equivalent CFM much more
efficiently than other than other filtration systems. When comparing the Magic Lung
®
with other blower units made by other manufacturers, use the “Equivalent CFM”.
