1. Read this manual carefully and completely.
2. ARDA range hoods conform to ETL/CSA standards. Check your local
building codes for any addional requirements.
3. The appliance has been manufactured as Class I, therefore a
ground connecon is necessary. A 110/120V power cord with plug is
provided. The range hood must be installed so that the plug is easily
accessible (Fig. 1).
4. If appliance has been designed for use in both ducted and
recirculang modes, follow the appropriate installaon method. (For
recirculaon mode a kit is required – not included. Contact
Integrated Appliances, Ltd. to determine if a kit is available for your
hood.)
1. Measure:
a. The oor to ceiling height (A - Fig. 2).
b. Find the centre point of your opening. Mark a plumb line (B) through this point from ceiling to
your range/cook-top.
c. Check your range/cook-top user manual for the specied minimum and maximum distance
above your cooking surface. Mark the minimum clearance (C) on the centre line.
2. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. Short, straight duct
runs will provide the most air ow.
3. Installing a cross brace within the wall at the mounng height is recommended (see Step D -
Mounng Height Calculaon & Cross-Bracing Installaon).
4. Decide where to install the 110/120V receptacle within the dimensions of the decorave
chimney.
5. Calculate the required height of the decorave chimney. ARDA range hoods will usually t on
walls between 7½’ and 8 ½’ depending on the mounng height of the range hood. For a shorter
installaon you may need to have the provided chimney cut. For a taller installaon you may need
to fabricate an extension piece.
