48" and 36" wide models are available with
different appearances. Model numbers with
“YSS” have straight sides. Model numbers
ending with “WSS” have sides which taper
inwards from the bottom to the top.

Before you begin:
should determine the installation height of
the hood and order the correct size duct
cover.

Accessories
Decorative duct covers are available in 6" or
12" heights. The duct covers conceal the
ductwork running from the top of the hood to

Professional Vent Hoods
These vent hoods must be installed 30" Min.
and 36" Max. above the cooking surface.
Installation will be easier if the vent hood
is installed before the range or cooktop
installation.
The rating plate is located behind filter
cutouts. To verify your model number, remove
filters.

Design Information
Professional Vent Hoods
Installation Framing for adequate support
These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate struc-
tural support must be provided. Hoods must be
secured to vertical studs or to studs in the
soffit.
•Additional studs may be required for a soffit
or wall mount installation. See Step 3, pages 8
and 9.
•We recommend that the vent hood and/or
duct cover be on site before final framing and
wall finishing. This will also help to accurately
locate the ductwork and electrical service.
•Installation will be much easier if the vent
hood is installed before the range or cooktop
below.
Ductwork planning
Advance
Planning
•Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
•Plan the route for venting exhaust to the
outdoors.
•Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible. For satisfactory performance, duct
run should not exceed 100 feet equivalent
length for any duct configurations.
•Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the
maximum permissable length for duct runs to
the outdoors. See page 6.
•Use metal ductwork. For 48" models,
3-1/4" x 24" or 10" round. For 30" and 36"
models, 7" to 10' round or 3-1/4" x 12" to
3-1/4" x 24".
•Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at
the exterior opening.
Decorative Duct Covers
Decorative duct covers are available for all
models. The duct covers conceal the ductwork
running from the top of the hood to the
ceiling or soffit. Duct covers are available in
6" or 12" heights.
You should:
•Determine the installation height from the
cooking surface.
Determine the size of the wall or roof cap for
your model and installation.
•Order the caps and any transitions needed in
advance. See “Duct and Duct Fittings” listed in
your local yellow pages. Be sure to include
equivalent lengths of caps and transitions when
calculating the total duct run. See “Duct
Fittings”, page 6.
– 36" max., 30" min.
•Measure 18" hood height.
48" Wide Model Duct Transitions
•Select 6" or 12" duct cover to meet ceiling or
soffit height.
•Transition duct pieces are available for 48"
wide models. See illustrations of ZX48BY and
ZX48AY transition pieces on page 3.
•Connect the wiring to the house wiring in
accordance with local codes.
WARNING
Electrical
Supply
Warning, for
Personal Safety:
Remove house fuse or open
circuit breaker before beginning
installation.
House wiring location
•The junction box is located on the top of the
hood. See illustrations, page 10 to determine
exact placement.
•Route house wiring through the ceiling, soffit
or back wall as close to the installation location
as possible.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter
plug with this appliance. Follow National
electrical codes or prevailing local codes
and ordinances.
Grounding Instruction
Electrical supply
This hood must be connected to a ground metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
This vent hood must be supplied with 120V,
60Hz., and connected to an individual,
properly grounded branch circuit, protected
by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.
•Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
•If the electrical supply does not meet the
above requirements, call a licensed electri-
cian before proceeding.
W
ARNING
Warning: The improper connec-
tion of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service
representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
