Advance planning for custom hood inserts

The supplied liner

These hood inserts are designed for easy installation into a
variety of custom hood applications. The hood attaches directly
to the house ducting from within the unit.

• The custom canopy must be constructed to house the

insert sleeve.

• The sleeve has locking clips on the bottom edge to hold

it in place. The opening must be constructed of 3/4"-thick
material to allow the locking clips to engage.

• The opening must be sized accurately to accept the insert

sleeve and the supplied or custom liner.

• Always maintain the 1/2" dimension at the rear to ensure

correct alignment of the ductwork.

• If you are not using the supplied liner you may construct a

custom non-combustible liner. The custom liner must be
constructed to the dimensions shown to fit the insert sleeve.

• These hood inserts must use 8" round duct with a maximum

equivalent length of 100 feet for any duct configuration.
Refer to the duct fittings chart in the installation instructions.

Refer to the installation instructions for details.

*Opening

*Custom cabinet frame cutout opening must

be 26" W x 13-3/16" D for 30" and 36"

models and 38-3/4" W x 13-3/16" D for 48"

models. To support the weight of the insert

sleeve and to allow for the temporary

locking clips to engage, the minimum

recommended thickness of the bottom

cabinet surface should be 3/4".

Remote location for the control

The control panel may be removed from the hood and installed
into a wall or countertop. A 30-ft. length of wire is supplied to
accommodate most installations. A blanking plate covers the
opening when the controls are removed.

The overall size of the control panel is 4-1/4" wide and 2-1/4" deep.
