* Add 0.5 amp for each halogen light. Hood is available with halogen lights (2 lights: 30" & 36", 3 lights: 42" & 48").• Because the Magic Lung
®
blower uses centrifugal filtration rather than conventional baffle or mesh filters, the Magic Lung
®
blower can handle cook-
ing equipment with higher cubic feet per minute (CFM) requirements and can deliver equivalent CFM much more efficiently than other than other filtration systems. When comparing the Magic Lung
®
with other blower units made by other manufacturers, use the
“Equivalent CFM”.

5) Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through the motor box electrical opening on the rear of the
hood. Install electrical wiring from the service panel to the hood location. Consult the connection diagrams (on previous
page) for further details on electrical placement.
6) Remove the duct cover from its packaging. Place the duct cover over the top of the hood taking care to align the
single flange on top of the hood between the double flanges on the bottom of duct cover. Press the duct cover down
to engage the flanges. Lift the hood and hold in place on the wall in the location where it will be installed. Lightly mark
the wall with a short horizontal mark along the bottom edge of the hood.
7) Remove the hood and duct cover assembly from the wall. On the back side of the hood, measure the distance between
the bottom edge of the hood and the top edge of the wood mounting strip. Measure this distance above the horizontal
line made in Step 6 and lightly mark the wall with a level, horizontal line. Measure where the center (left to right) of the
hood will be and mark the upper horizontal line on the wall with a short vertical centerline.
8) Remove the screws inside the top of the back of the hood that retain the wood strip that is recessed in the mounting
channel. Remove the wood mounting strip from the back of the hood and place the top edge of the strip on the upper,
level horizontal line on the wall. Referencing the vertical centerline from Step 8, place the mounting strip so it is centered
(left to right) on the wall in the space where the hood will be located. Drill pilot holes in the strip to prevent splitting.
Using proper hardware, attach the mounting strip to at least two wall studs.
9) FOR VP559 BACK VENTING APPLICATIONS ONLY. IF NOT
BACK VENTING, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 10.
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 7/8” above the top of the mounting strip, cut a hole
3-1/2” high x 10-1/4” wide centered on the hood centerline
(see diagram at right). Install the duct from the outside of the
home to the opening in the wall.
10) Hang the hood on the mounting strip by aligning the channel at the top of the back of the hood over the wood mounting
strip on the wall. While holding the hood in place, mark locations on the mounting strip through the two mounting
holes in the channel at the top of the hood. Remove the hood and drill 3/32” pilot holes at the center of the marks in
the wood strip to prevent splitting.
