2. The thickness of the strips should be the same as the recess of the cabinet and
they should be approximately 2” wide.
3. Install the strips using appropriate length wood screws (not included). Make sure
the strips line up to the holes in the top of the canopy.
4. Mark the location where the outlet adapter (available separately) will be located
on the cabinets and cut a hole approximately 1” larger on all sides than the outlet
adapter
(Figure 12).
NOTE:
If the recommended, optional BS Series backsplash is being installed it must be
installed before the hood canopy because the hood canopy will cover the backsplash
mounting screws. Refer to the instructions included with the backsplash for complete
installation instructions.
5. Rest the cavity in the back side of the hood on the wood strip and secure hood to
wood strip with the included 3/4" screws through the holes in the back of the hood
that line up with the wood strip (use 6 screws for 30" and 36" widths and 8 screws
for larger widths) Secure the bottom of the hood by installing the screws provided
into the wall anchors
(Figure 13).
6. From inside the hood canopy, secure hood to the underside of the cabinet by using
four wood screws (not included) through the keyhole slots of the hood
(Figure 13).
CAUTION:
ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING CODES.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
7. Determine the type of ducting you will require
(Figure 14).
NOTE:
For models using the B300, B500, or B600 blowers, a minimum of 6
”
diameter
outlet adapter & ducting is required to achieve the proper air flow. The B900 requires
a minimum 8
”
diameter adapter and ducting, while the B1125 requires a minimum 10
”
diameter adapter and ducting.

NOTE:
When determining the outlet adapter to be used, make sure to consider the
clearance within the cabinet space. Typically a horizontal Outlet Adapter will need to
be used if you will be venting out to a wall cap.
NOTE:
When the duct termination is similar to that shown in
Figure 14
(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.
8. Install the proper sized outlet adapter (available separately) to the hood by sliding
it down into the hole cut earlier and 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 15).
9. Connect the ducting to the outlet adapter and damper. Secure in place using tape
to seal all joints
(Figure 16).

Wiring
CAUTION:
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE IN ACCOR-
DANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU
ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE
SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Remove the two wire compartment cover screws to
gain access into the wire compartment
(Figure 17).
Connect the white wire from the range hood to the
white wire from the supply, and the black wire from
the range hood to the black wire of the supply.
Connect the ground wire from the home (green or
bare) to the ground wire (green) from the hood. Use
approved methods for all connections
(Figure 18).
2. Replace the wire compartment cover and tighten
screws. Make sure all wiring is securely contained
within the wire compartment. If the quick connect
wire connector was removed from the receptacle,
replace. The connector will only fit one way into
the receptacle
(Figure 17).
