C2048B8 48 Inch Stainless Steel Ducted Under Cabinet
DO NOT THROW AWAY, PROPERTY OF THE HOME OWNER!
Unit is to be hardwired. Adding a Power Cord will void the warranty.
Imperial Cal Products, Inc.
Read Before Starting Installation! Inspect your range hood prior to installing! Any cosmetic defects must be reported to us prior to installation. Once this hood is installed, ICP will NOT accept any responsibility for any cosmetic blemishes, scratches or dents in the Canopy. Save all original packaging if you wish to return for any reason!
FIRST: Check your local building and electrical codes. (Mounting hardware
NOT included)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, Do Not use any
two speed motor units with a Solid State control devise.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air to the outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into
spaces within wall, attics, ceilings, crawl spaces or garages. For general
ventilation use only. Do not use to Exhaust Hazardous or Explosive Materials
and Vapors. When venting to the outside make duct run as short and straight as
possible. Avoid using elbows if at all possible as this will reduce your
performance. If elbows are used, we recommend that the first elbow is 24″ from
vent opening on the hood and at least 24″ between it and the next elbow. We
strongly recommend no more then two 90 degree elbows in any duct run. Every
elbow will decrease the performance and we will not guarantee the
effectiveness of the range hood.
No Performance Warranty when used above BBQ, Grills & Griddles.
DO NOT use duct pipe smaller than the outlet duct opening on the hood, this
will reduce performance and void the warranty. DO NOT use flex ducting. Also,
use either a Roof Cap or Wall Cap to end run. Be sure that all joints are
taped securely in place. It is essential to have the proper distance between
the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface below. In most cases the
cooking appliance manufacturers specifications will establish the fire safe
minimum distance required, although there are other factors to consider:
- Local Building
- Codes Cross directional air movements ie: open windows, air conditioning/heating outlets, coolingfans, etc.
- Overall size of the cooking appliance and surrounding countertop surfaces.
- Range hood model selected.
For best performance distance between cooking surface and the bottom of the hood is 30″ to 36″. Check local codes and appliance specifications. Keep in mind, increasing the distance will decrease the performance.
THERMOSTAT: PS or BP Units ONLY. When cooking surface reaches 130 degrees, the unit will automatically turn ON to the highest setting and won’t be able to be turned off until the area has cooled down. For safety, it’s best to have unit on while cooking. (This thermostat will NOT prevent fires. Fires are most often cause by excessive grease build up.)
TWIN UNITS ONLY – Transitioning two pipes into one is NOT recommended.
CFMs are reduced by 25% and the Performance Warranty will be void.

Line up powered liner to underside of cabinet or canopy. If unable to drill directly into cabinet or canopy, use 4″ x 11-1/4″ x 3/4″ wood blocks on the inside of canopy, left and right side and secure with screws.
-
Remove Filters of powered liner.
Remove the BLACK tape that holds the damper blades closed. (Figure 2) (It is NOT recommended to use two (2) dampers during installation. You have the option to use an external damper or use the existing damper already on our unit.) -
Raise and position powered liner so that the bottom is level with cabinet and screw through holes on either side of liner. DO NOT use Motor Mounts as Gripping Points. The duct pipe or pipes should slip into the Automatic Seal Vent Collar. Additional Duct Tape can be use if needed.
-
If required, additional mounting at the rear of the unit: Locate wall studs, drill holes through back of insert to hit studs and attach the liner to the wall with screws.
-
Island and Peninsula liners should be mounted in the same way except there will be no rear wall mount.
-
Bring conduit down 4″ past the bottom of the liner.
NOTE: Top box for the C2000BP1 shows vent opening Off-Set to the left (facing the hood). The lower box will be the same size as the other models. -
Remove junction box cover from C2000. (Be sure to comply with all local electrical and safety codes.) Units are to be hard wired. It is not recommended to add a power-cord. Adding a power cord can loosen existing wires inside junction box causing electrical failure.
-
Hook up electrical wires and secure inside junction box. Replace junction box cover. Install lights and replace filters. For Baffle filters installation, see baffle installation page enclosed.
TWIN UNITS ONLY- -Transitioning two pipes into one is NOT recommended.
CFMs are reduced by 25% and will VOID the Performance Warranty.
DUCT SIZE INDICATOR – Our standard units have a 7″ Round which can be
transitioned to 8″ Round or 10″ Round to increase CFM. To add transition,
simply attach transition to the automatic vent seal color to hold transition
in place. Duct tape can be added for extra security.
See example below:
C2000PS-8 = 8″ Round Transition
C2000PS-K = 10″ Round Transition
Powered Liners Installation Detail Continued:
Re-Circulating, (Non-Vented) Series: C2000SD2-NV
For use when unable to terminate exhaust ducting to outside the structure.
Figure 1
Figure one shows the included elbow transition from 7″ diameter round to 3
1/4″ x 10″ rectangular. This transition is used to return the filtered air
back to inside the kitchen either through the canopy face of if applicable the
soffit above. The customer must provide the appropriate length of straight 7″
round ducting that connects the hood exhaust to the elbow transition.
Figure 2
Figure two shows a typical air exit terminating through the canopy face. A
customer supplied, decorative 4″ x 10″ register cover face plate should be
used to finish off the cut out opening.
Figure 3
Figure three shows a typical air exit terminating through the soffit face
directly above the hood canopy. Again the customer must provide a 4″ x 10″
register face plate.
NOTE: The C2000 NV Unit comes supplied with charcoal filters that will accumulate the cooking grease and over time decrease the hoods performance. The amount and style of cooking will dictate how often the filters should be replaced. This type of filter is designed for replacement only. Contact Imperial to purchase proper replacement filters.
