INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
SLH6-K UNDER CABINET 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 qualified  
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,  
including fire-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. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of  
gases through the flue (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.

Installation Details  
1) Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.  
2) When installing the SLH6-K under cabinet hood, it is recommended that the bottom edge of the hood be located no  
more than 21” - 24” from the cooking surface. Exceeding recommended mounting height may compromise performance.

3) Inspect the underside of the cabinet for a flush mounting surface. If the underside of the cabinet is recessed, install  
wood strips to provide a flush surface for the hood mounting screws to engage.  
4) Determine whether the hood will discharge horizontally or vertically. The hood is shipped to discharge vertically but is  
easily converted to horizontal discharge by exchanging the discharge adapter on top of the hood (4 screws) with the  
discharge cover on the back of the hood (2 screws). Use duct tape to seal the discharge adapter and discharge cover  
to the hood.  
5) IF THE HOOD IS TO BE “BACK VENTED”, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 6.  
Install the duct from the outside of the home down to the location of the hood exhaust outlet allowing room for the  
VP521 transition on the top of the hood (if applicable). If a VP521 transition is used, install the duct down to the location  
of the transition outlet plus 1”. This will allow the transition to engage 1” inside of the duct. Consult the connection  
diagram (below) 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 provided on the back  
page of this instruction sheet.  
Transition height: 3 1/4” x 10” duct will connect directly to the exhaust outlet of the hood. Optional VP521 transition to  
7” round (sold separately) is 7 1/2” tall.

6) Remove the hood from its packaging and place on the floor or countertop in front of the cabinet where it will hang.  
Warning: Make sure power is off and locked at the service disconnecting  
means on the service panel during installation.  
7) Determine whether the electrical wire will enter from the top or the back of the hood. Remove the electrical enclosure  
cover (1 screw) and the top or back electrical enclosure knockout from the hood. Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed  
electrical wire clamp through the electrical knockout. Install electrical wiring from the electrical panel to the hood  
location.

All K-Series hoods have two halogen lights.  
Because the Magic Lung® uses centrifugal filtration rather than conventional baffle or mesh filters, the Magic Lung® blower can handle cooking equipment with higher cubic feet per minute (CFM) requirements and can deliver equivalent CFM much more efficiently  
than other filtration systems. When comparing the Magic Lung® with other blower units made by other manufacturers, use the “Equivalent CFM”.

8) Insert the electrical wire through the electrical wire clamp allowing 3” - 4” of wire inside the enclosure for hookup.  
Tighten the electrical wire clamp.  
9) From inside the hood, 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 inside the junction box. Replace the electrical cover previously removed in  
Step 7.  
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.  
10) FOR BACK VENTING APPLICATIONS ONLY. IF YOU ARE NOT BACK VENTING, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 12.  
Note: Wall studs may interfere with back venting installations.  
Additional framing may be required. It is necessary to cut a  
duct access hole in the wall prior to installing the hood. Starting  
2 1/8” above the bottom edge of the hood, cut a hole 3 1/2”

hole in the wall. Where possible, use duct tape to seal joints.

12) While aligning the duct and guiding the wires, position the  
hood under the cabinet. The duct should connect together as  
the hood is located in place. Note: Unless using the VP521  
transition, the duct work must fit inside the exhaust collar. If  
using the VP521, 7” round duct should be placed with the non-  
crimped end on the outside of the collar of the VP521 exhaust  
outlet. Using the four screws provided, attach the hood to the  
bottom of the cabinet.

functions to ensure they are operating properly.
