Raise and position the Power Liner so that the bottom is level with the scribed lines on the cabinets and drive screws through holes in the ends of the Powered Liner. Use the exclusive positioning kit if needed. The duct pipe or pipes should slip into the Automatic Seal Vent Collar. Remove the black tape that holds the Damper blades closed.
-
If required, additional mounting at the rear of the unit:
-
Locate wall studs, drill holes through the back of the Powered
-
Liner to hit studs, and attach the Liner to the wall with screws.
-
Island and Peninsula Powered Liners should be mounted in the same way except there will be no rear wall mount.
-
Bring the conduit down 4 inches past the bottom of the liner. Note:
The top box for the C2000BP1 shows a vent opening offset to the left (facing the hood). The lower box is the same size as in the drawing to the right. -

Read Before Starting Installation
- Inspect your range hood before installing!
- Any cosmetic defects must be reported to us before 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 it for any reason!
FIRST: Check your local building and electrical codes.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, Do Not use any
two-speed motor units with a Solid State control device.
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 walls, attics, ceilings, crawl spaces, or garages. When venting to the outside make the duct run as short and straight as possible. Avoid using elbows if at all possible. If elbows are used, we recommend that the first elbow is 24” from the vent opening on the hood (minimum of 6”)and at least 24” between it and the next elbow. We strongly recommend no more than two 90-degree elbows in any duct run. No Performance Warranty when used above BBQ Style Grills.
- 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 the 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 manufacturer’s 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, cooling fans, etc.
- Overall size of the cooking appliance and surrounding countertop surfaces.
- Range hood model selected.
The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the bottom of the hood is
30” and 36” is the maximum distance.
Keep in mind, that increasing the distance will decrease the performance.
TWIN UNITS ONLY – Transitioning two pipes into one is NOT recommended. CFMs
are reduced by 25% and the Performance warranty will be void.

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 cutout opening. -

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 performance of the hood. 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. The C2000SD2-NV requires 50 50-watt halogen (Par 20) flood light that must be purchased separately.
