Installation Planning Installation Requirements WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, plan the installation so that all minimum required clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions provided are minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted. • An Integrated Ventilation System (IVS) installed in a custom hood canopy constructed of combustible materials must be installed with the combustible material structure a minimum of 36" (914mm) above the appliance cooking surface. • An IVS installed in a custom hood canopy that is constructed of non-combustible materials must be installed with the non-combustible material structure a minimum of 30" (762mm) above the appliance cooking surface. • An IVS installed in a custom hood canopy that is constructed with a Dacor IHL series stainless steel hood liner must be installed with the non-combustible material structure a minimum of 30" (762mm) above the appliance cooking surface. • The IVS must be mounted so that it can be removed if service is required. Make sure that the material around the edge of the cutout, behind the IVS mounting holes, is strong enough to hold the weight of the unit. Electrical Requirements Planning the Duct Work WARNING To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, the electric service to the IVS must be installed only by a licensed electrician. caution To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this range hood only with an in-line or remote blower rated maximum 7 Amps. (IVS1 and IVS2) or maximum 8 Amps. (IVSR1 and IVSR2). It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the electrical connection of this appliance is performed by a qualified electrician. The electrical installation, including minimum supply wire size and grounding, must be in accordance with the National Electric code ANSI/NFPA* (or latest revision) and local codes and ordinances. *A copy of this standard may be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101 • The ground wire on this appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system or grounding conductor installed by a licensed electrician. • Do not ground the appliance or appliance wiring to a gas pipeline or to the neutral (white) power supply wire. • Do not install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. • Connect the IVS directly to an electrical junction box. • The IVS needs to be hard wired, according to local code, directly to a dedicated three wire grounded, single phase circuit rated at 120 Vac 60 Hz, 15 Amps. WARNING • To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside the house or building. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages. • To prevent combustion by-products, smoke or odors from entering the home and to improve efficiency, tape all duct joints securely. • Use only duct work deemed acceptable by state, municipal and local codes. • Range hoods may interrupt the proper flow of smoke and combustion gases from furnaces, gas water heaters and fireplaces. To avoid drawing lethal gases into the home, follow the manufactures recommendation for these devices and consult NFPA and ASHRAE recommendations. • When installing models IVS1 and IVS2, DO NOT install an additional, external blower to increase the length of the duct run. Even small differences between blower air flow rates can greatly reduce the air draw by the hood. • When installing models IVSR1 and IVSR2, DO NOT install more than one external blower to increase the length of the duct run. Even small differences between blower air flow rates can greatly reduce the air draw by the hood. Install only the in-line or remote blower models specified in these instructions. Duct System Design Requirements • All duct work materials (including screws and duct tape) must be purchased separately by the customer. • Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short and straight as possible. Where turns are necessary, keep the turning radius as large and smooth as possible. 4
