READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person, including the following:INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

1. Unpack hood from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the

range hood you should have:

1 - Wire compartment

3 - Aluminum Grease Filters (shipped installed)

1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

NOTE: Some hoods may be shipped with a protective plastic adhered to the underside of the unit. It is recommended to leave this in place during installation to protect it from scratching. Remove when the installation is complete.

you you have wood or some other combustible material on the bottom of your cabinets it is recommended that you use the optional hood liner (See Section 3) If you have noncombustible material cut a 26-7/8" x 10" hole into the cabinet or canopy the power unit will be mounted into (Figure 1). NOTE: The hood must be mounted a minimum of 24” and a maximum of 36” from the cooking surface.

1. Secure the liner to the cabinet frame or custom canopy using three screws on each end

of the liner and 3 screws on each side of the top of the liner (Figure 2). www.airkinglimited.com 6727921 Rev. F 12-18 2 of 12

2. Insert the power unit into the hole and secure to liner using the screws provided with the

Liner (Figure 3). NOTE: If an optional Air King Liner is not being used; use appropriate hardware to install the unit in place, making sure to comply with all Local and National Building Codes. CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE SURFACE YOU ARE MOUNTING THE POWER UNIT TO IS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE WEIGHT OF THE UNIT. OTHERWISE YOU WILL NEED TO REINFORCE THE AREA.

Ducting CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL BUILDING CODES. NOTE: The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.

1. Install the included damper to the hood with three of the provided #6 blunt tip screws.

Peel backing off the included gasket and while holding the dampers in a vertical position install the gasket onto the hood. Make sure to align the holes and rectangular cutouts to ensure the dampers open smoothly. Install the included duct collar to the hood with four of the provided #6 blunt tip screws (Figure 4). Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path to minimize building heat loss or gain and to reduce the potential for condensation. Place/ wrap insulation around duct and/or fan in order to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain (Figure 5). Figure 1 26-7/8" 10" Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Duct Collar Ducting Power Unit Gasket Damper2 When there is access to the top of the unit, connect the ducting to the duct collar and secure in place using tape to seal all joints (Figure 4).3. When there is no access to the top of the hood, carefully pull down the metal duct through the custom hood base hole. Slide this duct over the duct collar. Make sure the adapter/damper assembly enters the ducting. Seal the connection with duct tape. NOTE: To achieve proper air flow, 10" round ducting is required. The duct connector is 9.8" in diameter (for 10" round ducting). To ensure the best air and sound performance, it is recommended that the length of ducting and the number of elbows be kept to a minimum, the radius of each elbow be as large as possible for the installation, and that hard ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and airflow restrictions. CAUTION: ALWAYS DUCT THE FAN TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH A WALL OR ROOF CAP.

Wiring CAUTION: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.3 Examine the wire compartment cover and select the most convenient wire entrance and remove the knock out. Feed the supply wire through the opening and install an appropriate strain relief. Connect the two loose White wires from the range hood to the White wire from the supply, and the loose Black wire from the range hood to the Black wire of the supply. Connect the ground wire (green or bare) from the supply to the green ground screw of the hood. Use approved methods for all connections (Figure 6).2. Attach the wire compartment to the power unit with two of the provided #6 blunt tipped screws (Figure 7).www.airkinglimited.com6727921 Rev. F 12-18 3 of 12

Setting the speed control (Models LE600A only)1. Your range hood is equipped with a speed control that allows the hood to run continuously at the preset CFM level. To set the CFM level, move the rotary dial located inside the wire compartment to the desired CFM.2.
