Design Information PRODUCT DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES (cont.) Using Duct Cover Accessories OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES ZX14SDSS, optional stainless steel duct cover is available for ceiling heights greater than 10 ft. and up to 14 ft. Order the optional duct cover at the same time as the vent hood and have on site before installation. This kit contains hardware required for installation. This kit contains installation hardware. A Duct Cover Accessory may be required for your hood installation height.
Installation Preparation ADVANCE PLANNING Ductwork Planning • Determine the exact location of the vent hood. • Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. • Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run should not exceed 100 equivalent length for any duct configurations. • Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the maximum permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors. • Use metal ductwork. These hoods must use 8" round duct.
Installation Preparation DUCT FITTINGS This Hood Must Use 8" Round Duct. It Can Transition to 3-1/4" x 12" Duct. Use this chart to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors. Note: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths! Maximum duct length: 100 ft. for range hoods. Flexible ducting: If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled. The flexible metal duct should be straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.
Installation Preparation TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT SUPPLIED) • Tape measure • Knife • Spirit level • Wire cutter/stripper • Wire nuts • Electric drill with 1/8" and 3/8" bits • Phillips and flat blade screwdrivers • Hammer • Pliers • Safety glasses • Duct tape • Tape to mount template • Gloves to protect against sharp edges • 120V 60Hz. 15 or 20 Amp, 2 wire with ground. Properly grounded branch circuit. • Strain relief for junction cover. • 8" round metal duct, length to suit installation.
Installation Preparation DUCTWORK, WIRING LOCATIONS CHECK INSTALLATION HARDWARE Determine the exact location of the vent hood. • Locate the template packed with the literature. – Measure 36" from the floor to the top of the cooking surface. Add 25-1/2" (or other recommended space) from the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood. Mark that location. – Use a level to draw a straight pencil line on the wall. Locate the hardware accessory box packed with the hood and check contents.
Installation Instructions 2 INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS 1 INSTALL FRAMING FOR HOOD SUPPORT This vent hood must be secured to the horizontal support or wall studs. IMPORTANT: Framing must be capable of supporting 100 lbs. • With the template taped in place, use a punch to mark all mounting screw locations. • Drill 1/8" pilot holes at the 6 punched locations. • Remove the template. • The 4 support bracket holes must enter studs or the horizontal support. 8" Min.
Installation Instructions 3 INSTALL DUCT BRACKET The duct bracket must be installed against the ceiling. This bracket will hold the decorative duct cover in place at the top. • Install the 2 small screws into the sides of the duct bracket. Remove the screws. Pre-tapping the holes will insure ease of final installation. Pre-Tap Side Screw Pre-Tap Side Screw Secure the bracket to the ceiling and wall: • Mark the 4 screw hole locations. • Drill 1/8" pilot holes in marked bracket location.
Installation Instructions 5 CONNECT DUCTWORK • Install ductwork, making connections in direction of airflow as illustrated. • Push duct over the exhaust outlet until it reaches the duct stops. • Secure joints in ductwork with sheetmetal screws. • Wrap all duct joints with duct tape for an airtight seal. • Use duct tape to seal the flange connection. Air Flow Duct Tape Over Seam and Screw Screw Duct Tape Over Flange CAUTION: Do not use sheet metal screws at the hood flange connection.
Installation Instructions 8 INSTALL FILTERS • Remove protective film on the filters. • Tip the filter into the slots at the rear of the opening. Lift the filter and pull the knob forward until the filter rests on the slots. • Install all 3 grease filters. • To remove the filters, grasp the knob, push the filter towards the rear and tilt downwards. • If the Clean Filter Reminder is glowing red after filters are installed, be sure to check the left side filter is making contact with the filter switch.
