INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

JCIH/C1 ISLAND RANGE HOOD

Read All Instructions Thoroughly Before Beginning Installation

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,

OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualied person(s)

in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including re-

rated construction. Switch power off at service panel and lock the service

disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally

during installation.

B. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring

and other hidden utilities.

C. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

D. Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases

through the ue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back

drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and

safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration

and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code authorities.

E. ASHRAE residential ventilation standard 62.2 limits exhaust fans (total) to

a maximum of 15 CFM per 100 square feet of occupiable space, unless a

back drafting test is performed or make-up air is provided. Consult a local

HVAC engineer for make-up air evaluation.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL

• The hood must be ducted to the outdoors without restrictions.

Blower Requirements

• The island dual blower unit (T200) requires 8” round duct or equivalent (50 square inches), and the

island cluster blower unit (T400) requires 12” round duct or equivalent (113 square inches).

Blower Combined Duct Dize Sq. Inch Area Vent-A-Hood Transition

Island Dual (T200) 8" round or equivalent 50 sq. in. VP565 (Included)

Island Cluster (T400) 12" round or equivalent 113 sq. in. VP564 (Included)

Ducting Requirements

• NEVER reduce the duct size.

• Donotuseexibleorcorrugatedduct.Thistypeofductwillrestrictairowandreduceperformance.

• Onlyusesmooth,galvanized,metalduct.

• Make the duct run as short and as straight as possible with as few turns as possible.

• Avoid sharp-angled turns. Instead, use smooth, gradual turns such as adjustable elbows or 45 degree

angled turns.

• Forductrunsover20feet,increasetheductdiameterbyoneinchforeverytenfeetofduct.

• A 90 degree elbow is equal to 5 feet of duct.

Termination Requirements

• Airowmustnotberestrictedattheendoftheductrun.

• A wall louver or roof jack is required for each duct run.

• Everywalllouverorroofjackmustincludeagravitydampertopreventbackdrafts.

• Do not use screen wire or spring-loaded doors on wall louvers or roof jacks.

• Donotterminateventingintoanatticorchimney.

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 an island range hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located no more than

30” above the cooking surface for optimum performance.

3) Load-bearing framework in the ceiling is necessary for the installation of an island hood.

Additional framework construction may be required. Do not attach an island hood to a structure

that cannot support twice the weight of the hood.

If applicable, remove the duct cover from its packaging and remove the hood-mounting screws

from the base of the duct cover. Install the duct cover to the load-bearing framework in the

ceiling using appropriate hardware through the four inside corner mounting anges on the top

of the duct cover.

4) 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 of 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 listed 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).

5) Prepare a protective surface on the oor or countertop for the hood. Remove the hood from its packaging and place

it upside-down on the protective surface for access to the inside of the hood.

6) Remove the shipping tape that is securing the E-Z Clean shields inside the hood. Remove the E-Z Clean shields by

lightly pulling each toward the end of the hood. Gently close the back draft dampers from the top side of the hood. To

remove the blower housings, unsnap the suitcase latches (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.

Warning: Make sure power is off and locked at the service disconnecting

means on the service panel during installation.

7) Remove the blower deck assembly by removing the 12 screws around the blower mounting plate. Unplug the electrical

connector(s) and set the blower assembly aside, taking care not to damage the blower wheels.

8) Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through the electrical strap on top of the hood deck. Install

electrical wiring from the service panel to the nal hood location. Consult the connection diagrams (above) for further

details on electrical placement.

9) Raise the hood to its nal position and attach it to the load-bearing framework in the ceiling using appropriate hardware

or to the duct cover using the screws previously removed in Step 3.

10) From inside the hood, feed the electrical wire into the wire clamp and tighten the wire clamp. Using UL listed wire nuts,

attach the “neutral” wire to the white lead, the “hot” wire to the black lead, and the ground wire to the green lead.

Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.

11) Attach the transition to the blower deck assembly and seal with duct tape. The transition must t inside the exhaust

collar(s) on the blower deck assembly. Reconnect the electrical connector(s). For assemblies with two connectors,

connect the right harness to the front connector and the left harness to the back connector. While taking care to properly

align the duct connection between the transition and the duct in the ceiling, reinstall the blower deck assembly into

the hood using the 12 screws previously removed in Step 7.

12) Reinstall the blower housings and the blower shields. Make sure that the dampers open and close smoothly.

13) Refer to Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light functions

to ensure they are operating properly.
