Cold weather installations necessitate the use of a backdraft damper to minimize the flow of cold air into the room. A nonmetallic thermal break should also be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures through the ductwork. Locate the thermal break as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house. PLANNING THE INSTALLATION: Before beginning installation of the Vent Hood and Ventilator, PLAN OUT the entire installation procedure beforehand, considering the following areas: 1. HOOD SIZE & LOCATION- (The hood should be as wide or wider than the cooking appliance with the hood being centered on the appliance.Vertically, the bottom of the hood should be between 30”36” above the appliance cooking surface). 2. DUCTING- (ducting transitions, air flows to outside? Use of Backdraft damper? ...etc.) 3. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS- (120 Volts, 60 Hz, 15 AMP Service, Local Codes...etc.) 4.ADEQUATE MOUNTING SURFACES- (location of wall studs, additional support for safe wall mounting...etc.) HANDLING NOTE- This Hood has been inspected prior to shipping to be free of defects. Due to the weight of the Vent Hood and Ventilator and to prevent scratching or denting the unit, we recommend the use of two installers to move, place, and secure the Vent Hood to avoid personal injury or damage to the Hood. INNER LINER REMOVAL: The DCS Professional Vent Hood has been designed into (2) major assemblies to accommodate easy and safe installation. The following procedure is best done with the Hood on its back on a padded surface. The inside liner assembly can be separated from the outer hood assembly by removing the (12) inner perimeter screws- (3 each side/front/back). Once these screws have been removed, the liner assembly can slide down to gain access to the male/female disconnect plug- See Fig.8 on page 5.After the disconnect plug has been unplugged, the liner assembly can be set aside until the hood has been installed into the soffit or wall.

FIG.08 5 Vent Hood Installation (with soffit) Vent Hood Installation (with soffit) SITE PREPARATION This DCS Professional Vent Hood has been designed to accommodate installation into a 1) soffit structure (ceiling mount), or, for sites without a soffit structure. 2) directly into the wall through holes provided in the rear panel of the vent hood (wall mount). When mounting the hood to a soffit, it is recommended to also utilize the rear panel holes to gain additional stability and minimize any vibration noise. We suggest that the final framing and wall finishing be done with the vent hood at the site to more accurately locate ductwork and electrical service. CONSTRUCT SOFFIT FRAMING 1) For a site with a soffit, use 2” x 4”s to construct the soffit framing as shown below in Fig. 1. Note that a minimum opening of 10” is needed to accommodate the ductwork. With the centerline of the installation marked, nail down the 2” x 4”s (wide side down) so that their inner edges are those specified from the centerline. -see Figs.1 & 3 pg.7 Note: The second (outer) set of 2” x 4”s are not necessary on the 30” Models installation. 2) Make 2 wood shims (2” x 10-1/2” x drywall thickness). Attach them to the framing as shown in Fig.2. Mount shims flush with inner edges of framing and with front edges 11-1/2” from finished back wall. "A" "A" HOOD WIDTH 10"Minimum "A" = Center line to inner edgeof 2 x 4's. -see fig.4. Finished Drywall 11-1/2"SHIMS FIG.01 FIG.02 6 Vent Hood Installation (with soffit) Vent Hood Installation (with soffit) INSTALL VENT HOOD INTO SOFFIT At this point in the installation process, the inner liner should be removed from the Hood and set aside (see-Pgs 5 & 6).With the liner set aside, there is clear access to the Soffit mounting holes and wall mounting holes in the rear panel of the unit. Once the soffit framing has been completed, place assembled vent hood (hood, rough-in kit, and ventilator) into place and secure hood to the soffit frame with 6 wood screws. NOTE: Additionally, we recommend the installer utilize the holes provided in the rear panel of the hood to secure the hood to the rear wall and minimize any noise and vibration of the unit. NOTE: Assure that the mounting screws are long enough to be driven through the wood shims into the installed 2” x 4”s for to...
