Preparation and Setup
Meeting Installation Requirements
WARNING
Observe all governing codes and ordinances during
planning and installation. Contact your local building
department for further information. Use only ductwork
deemed acceptable by state, municipal and local codes.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by reaching
over a hot appliance, cabinet storage space located
directly above the range should be avoided.
IMPORTANT
See the diagram for minimum installed distance from
the hood to the cooktop surface. The minimum specified
distance may be higher for the particular range or
cooktop in use. Check the manufacturers specifications
for the cooktop or range.
• The hood canopy must be as wide as the cooktop sur-
face or wider.
• Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions
are met or exceeded.
• Dimensions given are minimum clearances, unless oth-
erwise noted.
• All contact surfaces between the RNIVS and any cabi-
netry or walls must be sturdy, solid, and at right angles.
• Install the RNIVS and cooking appliance(s) so that they
can be removed if service is required.
• Local building codes may require the use of makeup air
systems with ventilation systems that move air greater
than the specified movement rate (CFM). The specified
rate varies based on locale. Consult a qualified HVAC
specialist when designing the system for the require-
ments in your area and to assure optimal performance.
• An RNIVS installed inside a custom hood canopy made
of combustible materials must be a minimum of 36”
(91.4 cm) above the countertop cooking surface.
• An RNIVS installed inside a custom hood canopy made
of non-combustible materials must be a minimum of 30”
(76.2 cm) above the countertop cooking surface.
• An RNIVS installed inside any custom hood canopy
using a Dacor RNIHL Series Stainless Steel Hood
Liner must be a minimum of 30” (76.2 cm) above the
countertop cooking surface.
