Installation Details
1) Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.
2) When installing a JCH/B1 wall mount range hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located no
more than 30” above the cooking surface for optimum performance.
3) IF THE HOOD IS TO BE “BACK VENTED”, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 4.
Install the duct from the outside of the home down to the location of the exhaust outlet on the top of the hood allowing
room for the transition (if applicable). If a transition is used, install duct down to the location of the transition outlet
plus 1”. This will allow the transition to engage 1” inside of duct. Consult the connection diagrams (on next page) for
further details on exhaust outlet placement.
Use duct tape to seal all joints. A complete listing of available Vent-A-Hood ducting materials is provided on the back
page of this instruction sheet.
Transition heights are as follows:
Single Blower (B100):
6” round duct will connect directly to the top of the hood.
Dual Blower (B200):
8” round duct will connect directly to the top of the hood.
Single and Dual Blower (B100 & B200): 10” round combination transition (VP562, included) extends 11 1/2” above
the top of the hood but is within the duct cover (optional).
Two Dual Blowers (Two B200s):
12” round combination transition (VP563, included) extends 10 1/2” above
the top of the hood but is within the duct cover (optional).
4) Remove the hood from its packaging and place the back of the hood on the floor or countertop in front of the wall
where it will hang.
