AirKing Advantage Professional Serie Mode D'emploi page 4

NOTE: If the recommended, optional BS Series backsplash is being installed, use the template
to locate and drill the appropriate holes for mounting. The back splash must be installed
before the hood canopy because the hood canopy will cover the backsplash mounting screws.
Refer to the instructions included with the backsplash for complete installation instructions.
5. Rest the cavity in the back side of the hood on the wood strip and secure hood to wood
strip with the included 3/4" screws through the holes in the back of the hood that line up
with the wood strip (use 6 screws for 30" and 36" widths and 8 screws for larger widths)
Secure the bottom of the hood by installing the screws provided into the wall anchors
(Figure 12).

6. From inside the hood canopy, secure hood to the underside of the cabinet by using four
wood screws (not included) through the keyhole slots of the hood (Figure 12).
CAUTION:
ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND
NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.
WARNING:

NOTE: When determining the outlet adapter to be used, make sure to consider the clearance
within the cabinet space. Typically a horizontal Outlet Adapter will need to be used if you will
be venting out to a wall cap.
NOTE: When the duct termination is similar to that shown in Figure 13 (passing through the wall
to which the hood is mounted) the installation requires special consideration. Depending upon
where the wall studs are located, it may be necessary to cut one or more of the wall studs and
install a header and footer to transfer the load to the adjacent studs. Additional studs may need
to be framed into the opening to attach dry wall or secure the hood. If this is your situation Air
King recommends that you hire a professional and comply with all applicable codes.
8. Install the proper sized outlet adapter (available separately) to the hood by sliding it down
into the hole cut earlier and matching up the four holes on the flange of the adapter to
the four corresponding holes on the hood and secure in place with the provided screws.
Ensure an airtight seal around the adapter by securing all connections with ducting tape
(Figure 14).

ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL
WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Remove the two wire compartment cover screws to
gain access into the wire compartment (Figure 16).
Connect the white wire from the range hood to the
white wire from the supply, and the black wire from
the range hood to the black wire of the supply. Connect
the ground wire from the home (green or bare) to the
ground wire (green) from the hood. Use approved
methods for all connections (Figure 17).
2. Replace the wire compartment cover and tighten
screws. Make sure all wiring is securely contained
within the wire compartment. If the quick connect wire
connector was removed from the receptacle, replace.
The connector will only fit one way into the receptacle
(Figure 16).
