Before proceeding with installation, please read this installation guide and observe all safety precautions and warnings.
Safety Practices & Precautions WARNING: To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire: A) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oil slowly on low or medium settings. B) Always turn hood “ON” when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods. C) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. D) Use proper pan size.
Planning The Installation BACKDRAFT DAMPER: We recommend that a backdraft damper be used in all Vent Hood installations. Cold weather installations necessitate the use of a backdraft damper to minimize the flow of cold air into the room. A nonmetallic thermal break should also be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures through the ductwork. Locate the thermal break as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.

Vent Hood Installation (with soffit) SITE PREPARATION: This DCS Professional Vent Hood has been designed to accommodate installation into a 1) soffit structure (ceiling mount), or, for sites without a soffit structure. 2) directly into the wall through holes provided in the rear panel of the vent hood (wall mount). When mounting the hood to a soffit, it is recommended to also utilize the rear panel holes to gain additional stability and minimize any vibration noise.
Vent Hood Installation (with soffit) INSTALL VENT HOOD INTO SOFFIT: At this point in the installation process, the inner liner should be removed from the Hood and set aside (see-Pgs 5 & 6).With the liner set aside, there is clear access to the Soffit mounting holes and wall mounting holes in the rear panel of the unit. Once the soffit framing has been completed, place assembled vent hood (hood, rough-in kit, and ventilator) into place and secure hood to the soffit frame with 6 wood screws.
Vent Hood Installation (without soffit) SITE PREPARATION: In cases where the installation site does not have a soffit structure, the Vent Hood assembly may be secured directly to the wall from the rear of the unit. NOTE- When installing the vent hood directly to the rear wall, an adequate structural wall support (studs) must exist to secure the unit. NOTE- The DCS Duct Cover should be ordered and installed when installing the vent hood in a site without a soffit.
Finishing The Installation TO FINISH THE INSTALLATION: FIG.04 REAR VIEW of VENT HOOD (48" Model Shown) Once the ventilation hood has been mounted in place it will be necessary to install the electrical service. All electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician and must conform to all local standards. Refer to the wiring diagrams on Pgs. 14-15, for proper hook-up and grounding.
Duct Information GENERAL: 10" - When planning the path for ducting to the outside, keep in mind the following guidelines: - Minimize use of elbows and transitions in ductwork as to maximize air flow to outside of building. An efficient airflow path contributes to the overall efficiency of the Vent Hood. - DCS recommends the use of smooth wall ducting, not flexible ductwork.
