1. PREPARE THE HOOD LOCATION AND SELECT THE INSTALLATION TYPE
This exhaust hood is designed for use with gas or electric outdoor cooking appliances when operated in an outdoor covered
patio or lanai area. As with all electrical appliances, this unit must be protected from the effects of weather.
This unit is not designed for use with a charcoal grill.
Either an interior or exterior blower or in-line blower may be used with this hood. The Best WPD29M Series must be installed
with blower models P12D, ILB11, EB12 or EB15 only. Other blowers cannot be substituted. (Blowers sold separately.)
Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
If installing ILB11 in-line blower, discard its rough-in plate. Refer to instructions packed with in-line blower and follow
steps 1 up to 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and up of this manual.
Install 10" round galvanized steel ductwork, elbows and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are installing. Use metal foil
duct tape to seal duct joints.
The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 30''. A maximum of 36" above cooktop is highly
recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 36" are at the installer and users discretion.
Run power cable to installation location.
The power cable must be a GFCI protected branch circuit.
