-
A 120 volt, 60Hz , AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below. -
Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
-
Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
-
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
- Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/ serial rating plate. The model/serial plate is located behind the filter on the rear wall of the hood.
- Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition and all local codes and ordinances).
Installation Requirements
Venting requirements
- Vent system must terminate outdoors.
- Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
- Do not use a 4'' (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
- Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
- Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
-
The length of the vent system and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. For the most efficient and quiet operation:
-
Use no more than three 90^ elbows.
- Make sure there is a minimum of 30^ (76.2 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used. Do not install 2 elbows together.
Venting methods
To use the hood's top outlet to vent your hood, a 10'' (25.4 cm) round vent system is required. This vent system is not included and must be purchased separately.
NOTE
Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance. The vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
Always install a metal vent cover where the ductwork exits the house. Hood must be vented to the outside of building only
Discharge direction
This hood is factory set for venting through the roof (vertical discharge) or wall (horizontal discharge).
To vent through a wall, a 90^ elbow is needed.
Ductwork installation guidelines
For safety reasons, ducting should vent directly outdoors (not into an attic, underneath the house, into the garage or into any enclosed space). Do not exceed 50 ft (15.24m) of duct. Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible. Elbows and transition fittings reduce air flow efficiency.
Back to back elbows and "S" turns give very poor delivery and are not recommended. A short straight length of duct at the inlet of a remote fan gives the best delivery.
- Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
- The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the hood.
- Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
- The size of the vent should be uniform.
Ducting recommendations
Proper performance is dependent upon proper ducting.
Cold weather
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. It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.
Ducting options
The hood is equipped with a 10^ (25.4 cm) round transition for discharge of fumes to the outside.
Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual. Dacor is not responsible for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual.
Preparation
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.
Fittings material is 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.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
Mounting height
CAUTION
Mount this hood so that the bottom edge above the cooking surface is at 30^ (76.2 cm) minimum for a gas cooking surface or 24^ (60.9 cm) for an electric cooking surface.
There is no maximum mounting height, however, we recommend 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.
This hood is intended for household use.
Check your ceiling height and hood height before selecting your hood.
Horizontal discharge
A 90^ elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
