Installation Details Continued
4) Install an appropriate 1/2” UL listed electrical wire clamp through the electrical opening on 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. Extend wire to the hood. Electrical connection will occur before the hood is
installed on the wall.
installed on the wall.
Warning: Make sure power is off and locked at the service disconnecting
means on the service panel during installation.
Warning: Do not operate hood without proper ground connection.
13) Using appropriate mounting hardware, attach the duct cover to at least one wall stud through the mounting strip in
the top of the back of the duct cover.
5) Remove the duct cover from its packaging. Remove the duct
cover front panel. The panel is held in place with four snaps at
the corners and at least one snap on the left and right. Begin
by pulling the panel away at one corner using the suction cup
provided. Work around the duct cover disengaging one snap
at a time until all the snaps are loose. Beware of sharp corners
and edges. Use caution to prevent bending, acratching or
dropping the cover. Remove the duct cover mounting screws
from the top of the hood. Place the duct cover on the top of
the hood and secure it to the hood using the mounting screws
previously removed. Lift the hood and duct cover assembly
to the location on the wall where it will be installed and lightly
mark the wall with a short, horizontal mark along the bottom
edge of the hood.

to the location on the wall where it will be installed and lightly
mark the wall with a short, horizontal mark along the bottom
edge of the hood.
6) 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 5 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.

hood will be and mark the upper, horizontal line on the wall with a short, vertical centerline.
7) 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 6, place the mounting strip on the wall
so it is centered (left to right) in the space where the hood will be located. Drill clearance holes in the strip to prevent
splitting. Using proper hardware, attach the mounting strip to at least two wall studs.

splitting. Using proper hardware, attach the mounting strip to at least two wall studs.
8) 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 inside the top of the hood. Remove hood and drill 3/32” pilot holes at the center of marks in the
wood strip to prevent splitting.

9) Proceed to Step 10 unless you are installing a P/ARS-RETRO soncversion kit. Remove the five screws retaining the
discharge collar to the blower discharge. Replace the original collar with the collar that is in the ARS kit. Lay the gasket
from the ARS kit on top of the new discharge collar. Discard the original discharge collar.

10) Insert the electrical wire from the service panel into the electrical wire clamp on the rear of the hood. Tighten the wire
clamp.
11) While securing the slack in the wire, lift the hood up to the wall and hang the hood on the mounting strip. Secure
the hood to the mounting strip by installing the screws (previously removed in Step 7) into the pilot holes drilled in
Step 8.
Step 8.
12) Remove the junction box cover to access the internal wiring connections. 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.
After making all connections, replace the junction box cover.
