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 qualied person(s)
in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including re-
rated construction. Switch power o 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. Sucient 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.

Installation Details
1) Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. Note: These instructions apply to standard hoods only.
Custom hoods may require additional specication 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” above the cooking surface for optimum performance. For custom liners, the recommended height o the cooking
surface is dependent on the depth of the liner. In general, the deeper the custom liner, the higher o the cooking surface
it can be, up to a maximum recommended height of 30” above the cooking surface for optimum 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.

6) Remove the three screws retaining the blower motor(s). Unplug
and remove the motor(s), taking care not to damage the blower
wheel(s). It is not necessary to remove the blower wheel from
the motor.
5) 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.

9) Install transition in the exhaust collar(s). Seal connection with duct tape. Note: The transition must engage inside the
exhaust collar. While aligning the duct connection and guiding the wires, lift the liner up into the enclosure ushing
the bottom edges of the liner and the enclosure. Duct and transition should connect together as the liner is raised into
place. Wood strips may be necessary to ll any gaps between the opening and the liner if the opening in the wood
surround is larger than the liner.
10) Install a wood screw with a countersunk washer and a at
washer into each mounting hole along the bottom edge of the
liner. Note: The hardware used in this step can be found in the
liner trim kit that was previously removed from the packaging
in Step 4.
11) Install the trim piece for the back and front of the liner (provided
in the liner trim kit) by hooking one side under the bottom
edges of the back countersunk washers. Snap the trim piece
over the top of the countersunk washers by applying pressure
upward and toward the liner wall. Repeat this process for the
side trim pieces (provided in the liner trim kit). Note: It may be
necessary to lightly tap the trim piece with a rubber mallet.
12) Plug the motors into the liner and reinstall the blower motor retaining screws that were previously removed in Step
6. Note: The side of the motor box where the “black” motors mount is labeled to ensure the motors are installed back
into the hood in the proper position.
13) Replace the blower housings and the blower shields. Make sure that the dampers open and close smoothly.
14) Refer to the Owner Maintenance Guide Operating Instructions for proper hood operation. Test all blower and light
functions to ensure they are operating properly.
Liner Trim Kit
8) Extend wires to the liner and insert them into the electrical wire clamp on each motor box. Tighten the wire clamp(s).
From inside the liner, using UL listed wire nuts, attach the “neutral” wire(s) to the white lead(s), the “hot” wire(s) to
the black lead(s), and the ground wire(s) to the green lead(s) inside the motor box(es).
7) Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through each motor box electrical opening on the top of the
liner. Install electrical wiring from the service panel to the liner location for each motor box. Consult the connection
diagrams (above) for further details on electrical placement.
Warning: Make sure power is o and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
