Dacor DHW361 Installation Guide

Installation Instructions

Connecting the Duct Work

Do not use screws to attach the duct work to the hood 

exhaust outlet. Use duct tape only. Screws may prevent 

the damper flaps on the top of the hood from opening.

If installing the unit with a recirculating kit, skip to Final 

Electrical Installation. Otherwise, install the duct work 

between the hood exhaust and the previously installed 

duct work. Attach the duct to the hood exhaust with duct 

tape alone. Use sheet metal screws (not provided) and 

duct tape on the remaining joints.

Final Electrical Installation

•  To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, prior to con-

necting the electrical wiring to the hood, make sure 

that power to the hood power supply line is turned 

off at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

•  Improper connection of the hood electrical wiring 

may create an electric shock or fire hazard and may 

result in damage to the hood’s electrical system. 

See page 3 for specifications.

•  Do not ground the hood to the neutral (white) power 

supply wire. Connect the hood ground wire to a 

separate, proper ground wire installed by a licensed 

electrician.

•  Make sure all wire used is capable of handling the 

total connected load. See page 3.

ney:
1.  Connect the white wire 

from the hood to the 

neutral (white) power 

supply wire.

2.  Connect the black wire 

from the hood to the hot 

(black) power supply 

wire.

3.  Connect the green 

and yellow wire from 

the hood to the house 

ground (green) wire from 

the junction box.

Final Chimney Assembly

Be careful not to pinch the electrical wires while 

assembling the chimney.

1.  Remove the protective plastic covering from both 

pieces of the chimney assembly. Do not remove the 

protective tape strips from the inside of the chimney. 

They protect the telescoping pieces from scratching 

during installation.

2.  Carefully slide both sections together so that only the 

vents on the top section show.

3.  Hold the chimney vertically with the vents up.
