PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
These vent hoods are designed to be installed onto a wall with no above cabinets.

• Install these hoods between the 24″ required minimum and 36″ recommended maximum above the cooking surface.
  

The vent hood must be installed between the 24″ required minimum and 36″ recommended maximum above the cooking surface. The hood installation height above the cooking surface depends upon ceiling height and duct cover limitations. The telescopic duct cover conceals the ductwork running from the top of the hood to the ceiling. For supplied duct cover ceiling heights, see table on page 5.
NOTE: Installation height should be measured from the cooking surface to the lowest part of the hood. This hood must be installed onto a wall. It can be vented to the outdoors, or it can be installed for recirculating operation. For recirculation operation, see Recirculation Install Planning.

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

• This hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling. Use a 6″ round duct. Use locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.
• Use metal ductwork only.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.

To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent system:

1. Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
4. Do not use any type of flexible ducting.
   • Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Purchase the wall or roof cap and any transition and length of duct needed in advance.
   • When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Visit cafeappliances.com for available makeup air  solutions.

RECIRCULATION COMPONENTS
HARDWARE COMPONENTS

See table for max install height with included duct covers and accessory:

INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
The Glass Chimney Hoods are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling heights. The duct covers can be adjusted for ceilings between 7′ 4-1/4″° and 9′ 3-1 /4″  depending on the distance between the bottom of the hood and the cooktop (distance X).

PREPARE THE WALL

Hood Body

1. Put a protective covering over the surface below the location of the hood to protect from dirt and/or damage.

2. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall (draw line up to the ceiling) where the range hood will be installed. Based on the ceiling height, determine the distance  24″ required min, 36″ recommended max (X) needed between the cooking surface (B) and the bottom of the hood. To this distance, add 12-5/8″ and draw a horizontal  line (A) about 24″ long centered on the vertical centerline (C).
   

3. Align the top edge of the mounting bracket with the horizontal line (A). Align the center notches of the bracket with the centerline (C) and mark the center of the  bracket holes. Remove the bracket to drill the 2 canopy mounting anchors into the wall at the markings. Place the mounting bracket back on the wall and install the 2 mounting screws with 2 washers into the anchors. Tighten screws.
   

4. Draw a second horizontal line (D) that is 1 added from the (X) distance. Drill a hole into the wall with a 9/32″ drill bit at the intersection of the horizontal line (D) and vertical centerline (C). Insert a duct cover anchor.

Duct Covers and Power Supply

1. Place one of the duct cover brackets against the wall so that its top edge is 1/16″ from the ceiling and level. Align the center notches of the bracket and the centerline (C)  and mark the centers of the bracket holes. Remove the bracket to drill the 2 holes for installation with a 9/32″ drill bit, and insert the duct cover anchors. Place the  bracket back on the wall and install the 2 mounting screws into the anchors.
   Tighten screws.

2. Place the other duct cover bracket on the wall so that its top edge is 15-1 /2″ from the ceiling and level. Align the center notches of the bracket and the centerline (C)  and mark the centers of the bracket holes. Remove the bracket to drill the 2 holes for installation with a 9/32″ drill bit, and insert the duct cover anchors. Place the  bracket back on the wall and install the 2 mounting screws into the anchors.
   Tighten screws.

3. Determine and mark where the hole will be drilled for the power supply cable to be run through the wall. The center of the hole can be located 4″ to the left or right of  the centerline (C) while remaining between 4″ and 13″ down from the ceiling. Once the center of the hole is marked, drill 1 1/4 diameter hole.
