This hood is for residential installation only and is not designed for installation over a commercial product. Make sure power is off at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before making connections. To avoid risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, turn off the electricity to the hood from the power supply before servicing or cleaning. Our hoods are equipped with variable speed control blowers.
These units will not function with a single speed ventilator. All Viking Range ventilator kits are designed specifically for use with Viking Range hoods. Use of any non-Viking Range ventilator kit will void the hood warranty.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flute (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
When cutting of drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
WARNING!: To reduce risk of fire, use only metal ductwork
CAUTION!: To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings, or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
CAUTION!: To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Electric Shock, Install this rangehood only with remote blower models manufactured by Viking, model numbers – DEV900/DEV1200, VEV900/VIL1200, OR integral blowers manufactured by Viking Range, model numbers –VINV300/600/1200, or DIL1200.

Planning Information

Proper installation of ducting is extremely important to ensure maximum performance from any ventilation product.

All CFMs are based on tests at 0.1 static pressure: without applying static pressure, CFM would be greatly overstated.
Straight runs and gradual turns are best; for example, each 90º elbow is equivalent to 5-10 feet (1.52-3.05 cm) of straight run.
Never use flexible duct; it creates back pressure/air turbulence and greatly reduces performance.
Proper performance is dependent on proper ducting; make sure that a qualified and trained installer is used.
Check with a qualified and trained installer or local codes for makeup air requirement, if any.
Max. amp rating for hoods includes recommended ventilator kit rating; all products must be hard wired direct with 2-wire with ground.

Plan where the duct work will be located. Install proper-sized duct work, and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are using. Recommended hood locations for the most common installations are shown. Adjust your measurements for various heights of ceilings, soffits, cabinets, or ranges/rangetops.

Check Framing

NOTE: Because of the weight of the hood make sure that the mounting screws are driven into the framing and not just the drywall. It may be necessary to drill additional holes in the canopy for proper alignment.

NOTE: Wall exhaust must be a minimum of 24” (61.0 cm) from ground. This may vary depending on local codes and geographic location.
