-
A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply conduit (at the range hood and at the junction box).
Installation Requirements
- At least two people are necessary for installation.
- When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
- For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
- Do not use flex ducting.
- To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal duct work.
- To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this range hood only with integral, in line, and external blower models rated maximum 7.6 A/ 913 W.
- Vent unit to outside of building, only.
- COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
- Make-up air: Local building codes may require the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.
Installation Preparation
- Determine which venting system to use: roof or wall.
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
- Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
- Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum, to ensure the selected range hood will fit. See “Determining Hood Height”.
- Anchors and screws are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
- Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood and place a protective covering over the surface.
- Use two (2) or more people to lift the range hood onto the prepared surface.
Determining Hood Height
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. The lower the hood is above the cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of cooking odors, grease, and smoke.
- For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 30” (76.2 cm) above the cooking surface.
For electric/induction cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 24” (61 cm) above the cooking surface.
There is no maximum mounting height, however, we recomend mounting the hood no greater than 36” (91.4 cm) above the cooking surface. For every inch (2.54 cm) above 36” (91.4 cm), fume and moisture capture efficiency diminishes at an increasing rate and may not deliver an acceptable level of ventilating performance.
Venting Options
- For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
- If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from hood duct output and as far apart, between the two as possible.
- Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
- Vent unit to outside of building only.
- COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
- Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area. Avallon offers a CMF reduction bypass kit as an alternative to make-up air.
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
- Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
Installation Steps
It is recommended to install ductwork before installing the range hood.
STEP 1. Install The Hood Upper Mounting Screws
- Mark a centerline on the wall where the range hood will be installed.
- Mark a reference line on the wall for the range hood height above the cooktop. The line marks the bottom edge of the hood.
- Tape the mounting template in place, aligning the template with the marked centerline and hood height reference line.
- Mark the centers of the fastener locations on the wall, through the template.
- Remove the template.
- Drill 3/16” (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws are being installed into wood.
- Install the two (2) – 5 x 45 mm mounting screws. Leave a 1⁄4” (6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw head to slide range hood into place.
IMPORTANT:
All screws must be installed into wood. If there is no wood to screw into, additional wall framing supports may be required. See “Install Hood Framing Support”.
IMPORTANT:
Wall anchors can also be used to attach the range hood, according to local codes, but need to support 100 lbs (46kg). Failure to use suitable wall anchors and screws to hold the weight of the hood could result in personal injury or damage to cooking surface or counter.
Install hood framing support (Optional)
Framing support may need to be added if studs are not available behind the drywall or the supplied screws and anchors are determined to be inadequate to support at least 100 lbs.
- If drywall is present, mark the upper screw hole locations using the template.
- Cut away enough drywall to expose two (2) vertical studs where the holes are marked or should be located.
- Install two (2) horizontal supports at least 4” x 2” (102mm x 51mm) between the two studs, flush with the room side of the studs. Make sure to install the upper horizontal support where the upper mounting screws should be located and the lower horizontal support where the lower mounting screws should be. To determine where the lower mounting screw holes go, you will need to temporarily mount the hood on the upper screws, then mark the location of the lower screws through the lower hood. See “Step 3. Install the Range Hood.” Use cleats behind both sides of the supports to secure them to the wall studs.
- Reinstall the drywall.
IMPORTANT:
Framing must be capable of supporting 100 lbs (46kg).
Step 2. Install The Vent Cover Bracket
- Attach the vent cover bracket flush to the wall at the ceiling line, using two (2) 5x45mm screws.
Step 3. Mark the Lower Mounting Screw Locations
- Using two (2) or more people, hang the range hood on the two (2) mounting screws through the mounting slots on the back of the hood.
- Mark the lower mounting hole locations through the holes in the lower hood with a pencil.
- Remove the hood.
- Drill 3/16” (4.8mm) pilot holes at the marked locations for the lower mounting screws.
Step 4. Prepare the Electrical Connection
-
Disconnect the power.
-
With the range hood sitting on a flat surface, remove the terminal box cover by removing the three (3) screws.
-
Remove the knockout in the terminal box cover and install a UL listed or CSA approved 1⁄2” strain relief.
-
Run a home power supply cable through the strain relief into the terminal box. A pigtail, three-prong plug is often used.
-
Use a UL listed wire connector and connect the black wires together.
-
Use a UL listed wire connector and connect the white wires together.
-
Connect the green (or bare) ground wire from home power supply to yellow-green ground wire in the terminal box using a UL listed wire connector.
WARNING: Failure to connect ground wires can result in death or electric ock. -
Tighten the strain relief screw.
-
Replace the terminal box cover.
-
Check that all light bulbs are secure in their sockets.
-
Reconnect power.
Step 5. Connect the Vent System
- Install the air transition on top of the hood (If removed for shipping) with four (4) 3.5 x 9.5mm sheet metal screws.
- Fit the vent system over the exhaust ouitlet.
- Measure from the bottom of the air deflector to the bottom of the hood outlet. Cut the ductwork at the measured dimension.
- Seal the connection with clamps.
- Check that the back draft dampers work properly.
Step 6. Install the Range Hood
- Hang the range hood on the two (2) upper mounting screws.
- Level the range hood.
- Tighten the upper mounting screws.
- Install two (2) 5 x 45mm screws in the lower mounting position and tighten. Use the optional wall anchors if needed.
Step 7. Install the Duct Covers
NOTE:
Do not remove the protective film on the duct covers until you figure out how long they need to be. This will protect the duct covers from scratches.
- Place the telescopic duct covers on top of the range hood.
- Extend the top (inner) duct cover to the ceiling.
- Remove the protective film from the duct covers.
- Secure the top duct cover to the duct cover bracket, using two (2) 4 x 8mm mounting screws.
- Secure the bottom of the duct covers with two (2) 4 x 8mm screws.
NOTE: The upper vent cover may be reversed to hide slots.
Step 8. Complete Installation
Install the metal filters by first grasping the filter handles and placing the front edge of the filter into the hood, then pushing up on the back filter handle and setting the rear of the filter into the drip tray to secure.
Operation
The range hood is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors, and odors from the cooktop area. For best results, start the hood before cooking and allow it to operate several minutes after the cooking is complete, to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen.
Controls
Recessed Knobs
You can hide the control knobs by depressing them until they are flush with the hood body. Pressing the knobs again will lower the knobs and enable the user to operate the lights and blower.
