Installation Details
1) Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Note: These instructions apply to standard hoods only.
Custom hoods may require additional specication consideration.
2) When installing the TSLE/TPSLE island liner, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the liner be located no more
than 30” from the cooking surface. For custom liners, the recommended height off the cooking surface is dependent
on the depth of the liner. In general, the deeper the custom liner, the higher off the cooking surface it can be, up to a
maximum recommended height of 30”. Exceeding recommended mounting height may compromise performance.
3) Install the duct from the outside of the home down to the location of the exhaust outlet on the top of the transition
plus 1”. This will allow the transition to engage 1” inside the duct. Consult the connection diagrams (on next page) for
further details on exhaust outlet placement.
Use duct tape to seal all joints. A complete listing of available Vent-A-Hood ducting materials is included on the back
page of this instruction sheet.
Transition heights are as follows:
Island Dual Blower (T200): 8” round duct connects to 9” tall VP565 transition (included).
Island Cluster Blower (T400): 12” round duct connects to 11 1/4” tall VP564 transition (included).
4) Remove the liner from its packaging and place it on the oor or countertop for access to the inside of the liner. Remove,
open, and save the liner trim kit from the packaging. The liner trim kit will be used later in Step 10.
5) Remove the blower shields (A) by loosening the two brass screws on the bottom of the shield. Gently close the back
draft dampers from the top side of the hood. To remove the blower housings, unsnap the suitcase latches (B) (one on
each side of the housing). The housings should be pulled forward and gently “tipped” to clear the blower wheels and
then out of the hood.
