Modern-Aire Ventilation Hood Installation Instructions - page 3
The recommended height for hoods is between 30” and 36”
off the top of the cooking surfaces. This put the bottom of the
hood at about 66” off the ground as an average. The hood should
never go above 72” from the floor, or 36” above the cooking
surface to help ensure maximum efficiency.
Prepping the hood for installation:
Install correct ducting and roof cap for the blower you have
chosen. Unwrap the hood make sure all instructions are with your
hood. Prior to installing double check ceiling, soffit, cabinets, and
appliance heights, to make sure the hood will fit.
Electrical Supply:
Power should be 120 VAC cable from the service panel. See
hood and blower specs for maximum amp requirements. Power
requirements will depend of the size and number of blowers and
light used with the hood.
Installing Canopy hood:
Center the canopy in space and attach to the wall. Secure the
hood with mounting screws, driven into framing, not drywall only!
Make sure to use all nesaccery mounting hardware to secure the
canopy to the wall. For island application secure to framing in the
ceiling or overhang. Be careful these hoods are metal and
sometimes are heavier than they look use two people when ever
possible to avoid bodily harm, damage to the hood, and for
accurate alignment of all holes.
Installing Ducting and Duct covers:
First run proper sized ducting (steel) from external exhaust
point back to installation spot to ensure a minimum of cfm loss.
