ISLAND HOOD INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

1. Decide the placement of the ductwork between the hood and the outside of the home. Your island hood has a top discharge which will run vertically.
2. When not installing a remote fan, always install a roof cap or wall cap. Connect rigid round metal ductwork to the roof cap and work back towards the hood location.
3. Use duct tape to seal the joints between the ductwork sections.
4. A transition with backdraft damper is included with your island hood. It is recommended that the enclosed backdraft damper be used in all installations.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Do not place electrical wiring within the duct work itself.
• All island hoods must exhaust to the outdoors.

PREPARATION

1. When installing a duct cover, the duct cover must be installed prior to the hood installation. See Figure 14 for duct cover installation instructions.
2. Remove the baffle filters from hood shell. (See Figure 12)
3. The hood is shipped with the transition attached. The transition is shipped upside down in the top of the hood and must be removed then reinstalled.
4. Detach the transition from the hood by removing the (4) shipping screws. DO NOT discard these screws. These shipping screws will be needed for the reinstallation of the transition to hood.
5. Invert the transition (the round collar points away from top of hood). Use the shipping screws removed from step 4.
6. When installing a remote fan, drill a 7/8" hole through hood framing for conduit wiring where needed. See Figure 13

CHIMNEY HOOD INSTALLATION

CHECK THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

• If your installation has been roughed-in (including duct work and wiring), be certain there is nothing in the way of the mounting, pipes, other wiring etc.
• If the installation has not been roughed-in, check what is needed to create the framing and mounting hardware (allthreads, nuts, etc.). Be sure the location will not interfere with wiring, other utilities, or structural considerations.

CHOOSE THE INSTALLATION METHOD

• There are several different methods available to mount the hood: the Unistrut, Angle Iron, Frame In, Wall Mounts, Island Mount and Rough-in Plate Mount, which can be used for both indoor and outdoor. Please check the model options for the suggested methods of your installation. Each hood type and site requirements are presented as follows.
• Please read the instructions in their entirety prior to installing the hood.

CONNECTING DUCT WORK

• Ducting should be as short and straight as possible for best fan performance.
• Seal all joints with duct tape.

INSTALLING CHIMNEY STYLE HOODS

1. Position the Chimney Hood on its back and locate the transition inside the Chimney Hood; remove the (4) #8 x 12 " self tapping screws at the top of the hood which hold the transition to the hood (save these screws for later use), separate the transition from the hood base and duct cover.

2. Install the transition to the duct work ensuring the bottom of the transition is centered and flush with the bottom of the duct cover. Check the position of the transition by sliding the duct cover over the mounted transition. Verify that the transition is flush, and centered to the bottom of the duct cover. When transition installation is complete, be sure to check that the damper is not hindered from opening if using mechanical fasteners. (See Figure 5)

3. Run electrical supply from rear or top location of hood to hood J-Box(See Figure 2)

4. Install the duct cover to the top of the hood using the 12 – 24 self tapping 7/8" length screws. Also bolt the hood to the duct cover using the supplied stainless steel 3/8" bolts.

5. Before hanging the hood, drill holes in the back of the hood, if necessary, to line up with the structural studs in the wall. Also, be prepared when hanging the hood to feed the electrical either through the top down, or use the hole provided in the back. You may drill a hole in the back, if necessary, to accommodate the electrical. (See Figure 2)

6. Slide the hood up the wall with the transition sliding inside the duct cover, then secure the hood to the back wall (drilling through the back of the hood to locate studs). Use the #10 x 2" long self-tapping screws to secure the hood to the wall structure. (See Figure 6)

7. Once the hood is secure, attach the transition to the rectangular plate at the junction of the hood and duct cover with the screws that were removed from the transition. (See Figure 6)

(Black to black, red to red, blue to blue, white to white. Hood J-Box Wire to Remote Fan Figure 13.

HIGH HEAT SENSOR

A high heat sensor is integrated within the complete line of Prizer Hoods. It is activated when the exhaust temperature reaches 200^ F ( 93^ C) and de-activates as the temperature decreases to 186^ F ( 85^ C). If the fan is operating on the low speed, and the high heat sensor engages, the fan motor will automatically change to high speed until the temperature decreases.

BAFFLE FILTERS, GREASE TROUGHS AND LIGHTS

BAFFLE FILTERS

Your baffle filters come with knobs to aid in filter placement and removal. Grab the knobs with your thumb and index finger. Simultaneously, slide and force the first baffle filter in an upward (slightly pitched) direction towards the ceiling. Spring clips have been attached within the framework to prevent the baffle filters from rattling when fan is operating. These spring clips will make it difficult to insert and remove baffle filters. As the baffle filter is forced upward towards the ceiling, simultaneously swing the lower portion of the filter down and out of the framework. Remove the remaining baffle filters in the same fashion. The first baffle filter removed may be difficult, but the remaining filters will follow with ease.

Baffle filters may be washed in your dishwasher. Simply place on the lower rack of dishwasher using a normal cleaning cycle.

To re-install your new/clean filters within the hood cavity, begin the process but in reverse. First, place the clean “grease trough(s) (if applicable) in the cavity framework followed by the first of the baffle filters keeping in mind the first of the baffle filters will be easy to re-install.

CONTROLS

Always “turn-on” the hood fan prior to cooking in order to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Allow the fan to remain operating after cooking for a few minutes to clear the air. This measure will ensure the kitchen remains smoke-free & fresher smelling.

FAN

The hood's fan is controlled by a three-speed switch. Speeds Off, Low, Medium and High are printed next to the fan control knob and correspond to the fan speed.

HOOD LIGHTING

The halogen lights are controlled by a single variable light switch or high/low switch.

CLEANING YOUR STAINLESS STEEL HOOD

Keep your hood free of grease build-up under the hood's surface as well as exterior surfaces. Do no use abrasive cloths, steel wool, scrubbing pads or scouring powders. Do not use paper towels or any other coarse cloths for cleaning stainless steel. Micro fiber cloths are recommended for cleaning.

We recommend using a stainless steel cleaning spray to maintain the beautiful luster of your stainless steel hood. Spray the cleaning/polishing solution directly onto a cleaning cloth as opposed to spraying the surface of the hood.
