INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE
STARTING INSTALLATION.
NOTE :
When installing the Liner outdoors, the Air King Professional Liners are approved for
use in
covered
outdoor kitchens only. Proper duct adapters, ducting, chimneys, roof/wall
caps, etc. must be utilized as called out in the following instructions. Do not install the liner in
an uncovered area directly exposed to the elements.
SECTION 1
Preparing the Insert
1. Unpack hood from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the
range hood you should have:
8 - Screws (LIN34, LIN40 models - 12; LIN46, LIN58 models - 14)
2 - Halogen Bulbs (LIN58 models - 4)
1 - Duct Adapter
1 - Grease Trough
2 - Grease Baffles (LIN24, LIN46, LIN58 models - 3)
2 - Spacers (LIN24 models only)
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
NOTE:
Some hoods may be shipped with a protective plastic adhered to the underside of the
unit. It is recommended to leave this in place during installation to protect it from scratching.
Remove when the installation is complete.
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. Cut an appropriately sized hole for the cabinet or canopy the liner will be mounted into
(Figure 1):
LIN24M models:
24.5" x 19.375"
LIN24MD models:
24.5" x 22.625"
LIN28M models:
28.5" x 19.375"
LIN28MD models:
28.5" x 22.625"
LIN34M models:
34.5" x 19.375"
LIN34MD models:
34.5" x 22.625"
LIN40M models:
40.5" x 19.375"
LIN40MD models:
40.5" x 22.625"
LIN46MD models:
46.5" x 22.625"
LIN58MD models:
58.5" x 22.625"
NOTE:
The hood must be mounted a minimum of 24" and a maximum of 36" from the
cooking surface.
SECTION 3
Mounting the Liner
CAUTION:
DUE TO THE WEIGHT AND BULK OF THE UNIT, IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THREE PEOPLE ARE PRESENT DURING INSTALLATION TO LIFT, HOLD, AND SECURE
THE UNIT IN PLACE.
1. Lift unit up into position so that the bottom flanges are in solid contact with the bottom of
the canopy or cabinet. Using the included wood mounting screws, secure the unit to the
canopy or cabinet by driving the screws through the holes
(Figure 2).

NOTE:
If additional support is required, install a 2" x .75" strip of wood between the back of
the canopy (rear wall) and the hood. When installing the wood strip to the back of the canopy,
locate studs in the wall to support the weight of the canopy. Center the wood strip 11.5"
from the bottom of the canopy and attach the strip to at least two studs in the rear wall (do
not fasten the strip to drywall only). Lift unit up into position so that the bottom flanges are in
solid contact with the bottom of the canopy or cabinet. Using wood screws and washers (not
included) secure the hood to the wood strip through the two keyholes in the back of the hood.
Using the included wood mounting screws, secure the unit to the canopy or cabinet by driving
the screws through the holes
(Figure 3).
SECTION 4
Ducting
CAUTION:
ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING CODES.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
1. Determine the type of ducting you will require
(Figure 4).
NOTE:
For models using the B300, B500, and B600 blowers, a minimum of 6" diameter outlet
adapter & ducting is required to achieve the proper air flow. The B900 requires a minimum of 8"
diameter adapter and ducting. The B1125 requires a minimum 10" diameter adapter and ducting.
NOTE:
When the duct termination is similar to that shown in
Figure 4
(passing through the wall
to which the hood is mounted) the installation requires special consideration. Depending upon
where the wall studs are located, it may be necessary to cut one or more of the wall studs and
install a header and footer to transfer the load to the adjacent studs. Additional studs may need
to be framed into the opening to attach dry wall or secure the hood. If this is your situation Air
King recommends that you hire a professional and comply with all applicable codes.
2. Install the proper sized outlet adapter to the hood by matching up the four holes on the
flange of the adapter to the four corresponding holes on the hood and secure in place
with the provided screws. Ensure an airtight seal around the adapter by securing all
connections with ducting tape
(Figure 5).
