Electric Safety•GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
•WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, fire or
shock may result causing property damage or personal injury.
•WARNING: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. Improper installation, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual for
guidance. All other servicing should be done by a qualified technician.

1) UL 858, The Standard for the Safety of Household Electric Ranges
2) UL 923, The Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking Appliances
3) UL 507, The Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans
4) ANSI Z21.1-2000, The American National Standard for Household Cook-
ing Gas Appliances
5) CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Ventilators
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional
requirements and/or standards apply to specific installations.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
•WARNING: Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
•Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
•Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
•For appliances equipped with a cord and plug, do not cut or remove the
ground prong. It must be plugged into a matching grounding type receptacle
to avoid electrical shock. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded, the customer should have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
•If required by the National Electrical Code (or Canadian Electrical Code), this
appliance must be installed on a separate branch circuit.
•WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with
any solid-state speed control device.
•Installer - show the owner the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.

Safety
•Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to
prevent power from being turned ON accidentally.
•WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have
questions, contact the manufacturer.
b) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and
lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot
be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to
the service panel.
•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all
applicable codes.
Ventilation Safety•WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s)
in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including firerated construction.
b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and
safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
Related Equipment Safety•Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance. Destroy the pack-
aging after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
•Never modify or alter the construction of the appliance. For example, do not
remove leveling legs, panels, wire covers or anti-tip brackets/screws.
•CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials and vapors.
•WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

Installation
4. One Way Damper
If parts are missing or damaged, call the number or write to the address listed
inside the front cover.
General InformationThe ventilation unit is designed for installation inside a custom-built hood and
chimney assembly. It is for ducting to the outside; It cannot be used in conjunction
with a recirculation unit.
Installation height above cooktop is the user’s preference. The lower the hood
above the cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of cooking odors, grease, and
smoke. This hood has been approved for installations as low as 30” (760 mm) and
as high as 36” (900 mm) above the cooktop. The lower height may be inconvenient for tall people and large cooking vessels.
Electrical RequirementsThe unit requires a 120V AC, 60Hz. 15A branch circuit. For future service, install
the outlet in an easily accessible location.
Mounting RequirementsThe unit must be mounted to the surrounding housing. See “General Information”
on page 3 for suggestions for determining hood height.
For best results, install the unit as far up in the housing or hood as possible. This
will improve the function of the appliance.
When calculating the load for the housing support system, be sure to include the
weight of the ventilation unit. See “Ventilation Unit Weight” on page 4. for unit
weight by model.
Table 1: Ventilation Unit Weight
SizeMin. Weight
21” (53 cm)18 1/4 lbs. (8.3 kg)
29” (73 cm)19 lbs. (8.7 kg)
For proper performance, the housing must cover the entire cooking surface.
Build housing to correspond with Figure 7: Housing Cutout Dimensions - 20 7/8”
(53 cm) models or Figure 8: Housing Cutout Dimensions - 28 3/4” (73 cm) mod-
Ducting RecommendationsThe unit is for ducting to the outside; it cannot be used in conjunction with a recir-
culation unit.
For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight duct run or as few elbows as
possible.
Do not use flex ducting. Always use metal ductwork with a diameter of 6” (150
mm).
COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper
installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to
minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper
should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close
as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
Always install a metal vent cover where the ductwork exits the house.
Make-Up Air: Local building codes may require the use of make-up air systems
when using ducted ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.
Installation Procedure
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing,
switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the
power from being switched on accidentally.
Unpack HoodPull hood from outer packaging. Remove and discard all packaging materials.
Remove filter and set aside (See Use and Care manual for removal instructions).
Prepare ductworkInstall one-way damper so that the flap opens up (snaps into place). Note: verify
that the flap opens up (toward the ceiling) before continuing. If necessary, install
thermal break and additional backdraft damper.
