A.Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated 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 guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 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.

E.When applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building

Installation Preparation

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

ŶThis hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling. Use an 8" round duct. Use locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.

ŶUse metal ductwork only.

ŶDetermine the exact location of the vent hood.

ŶPlan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent system:

1.Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.

2.Maintain a constant duct size.

3.Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.

ŶMaximum equivalent duct length for 100 CFM: 150 foot for vent hoods.

ŶInstall a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Purchase the wall or roof cap and any transition and length of duct needed in advance.

ŶWhen applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Use makeup air kit JXMUA8.

Power Supply Planning

The location of the power supply connection is called out in the Installing The Hood Bracket Mount section.

POWER SUPPLY

IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)

WARNING

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance. Follow National Electrical Codes or prevailing local codes and ordinances.

Electrical supply

These vent hoods must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, and protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

ŶWiring must be 2 wire with ground.

ŶIf the electrical supply does not meet the above requirements, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.

ŶRoute house wiring as close to the installation location as possible in the ceiling or wall.

ŶConnect the wiring to the house wiring in accordance with local codes.

Grounding instructions

The grounding conductor must be connected to a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.

WARNING The improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

NEW CONSTRUCTION, PRE-PLANNING, OR REMODELING

NOTE: For existing construction, skip to the section, Installing The Hood Bracket Mount.

ŶInstall horizontal wood supports between 2 wall studs that align with the vertical mounting height locations shown in the illustration.

ŶThe horizontal supports must be flush with the room side studs.

ŶFor ducted installation, the hole for the duct in the ceiling must be centered 5" away from the finished rear wall.

ŶThe bottom support aligns with the hood mounting bracket. This height depends on the desired height of the hood.

ŶThe top support must be flush with the ceiling.

ŶThe electrical wiring can be located 5-1/2” to the left or right (junction box is on the left) of the centerline. Must remain 7/16” above the back panel and 5” from the ceiling, refer to illustration on next page.

From the lower left corner of the gray shaded area, it is recommended to have at least

20" of house electrical wiring.

INSTALLING THE HOOD BRACKET MOUNT

Hood Body

1.Put a protective covering over the surface below the location of the hood to protect from dirt and/or damage.

2.Determine and mark the centerline (C) on the wall (draw line up to the ceiling) where the range hood will be installed. Based on the ceiling height, determine the distance between 24” required min, 36” recommended max (X) needed between the cooking surface (B) and the bottom of the hood. Draw a horizontal line at X. Align the install template so that the bottom of the template is

centered and is level with the horizontal line drawn at height X.

Duct Covers and Power Supply

1.Place the duct cover bracket (E) on the wall so that its edge is against the ceiling and level, making sure the slots are in direct contact with the wall. Align the center notches of the bracket and the centerline. Mark the location of the screw holes furthest apart from the center line if possible. If one of the screw holes aligns with a stud, then a wood screw will be used for that location. For the other hole or if there are no studs, install 2 mounting anchors (H). Place the duct cover bracket (E)

on the wall and install with wood screws (L) and mounting screws (D) as needed.

2.The house electrical wiring must fall in the gray shaded area shown below. From the lower left corner of the shaded area, a minimum of 20” of house electrical wiring is recommended to reach the electrical junction box on the hood.

INSTALLING THE HOOD

Remove the grease filters from

the unit and set aside. The grease filters are removed by pressing the handle in the front

of the filter. When replacing, make sure that the filters are

properly positioned with the handles in front and visible.

NOTE: On some models, the front panel covers the filters and must be pulled down to access the filters.

NOTE: This bracket must be removed prior to installation. Remove 2 front and 2 bottom screws per illustration bellow.

1.Securely press the damper on top of the exhaust opening. Check that the damper opens freely. Attach damper to hood using machine screws

(J) provided.

2.Remove and properly discard the protective plastic wrapping from the hood and grease filter. Remove the template off the wall.

3.Mount the Range Hood:

Ŷ Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood and place on the hood mounting bracket. Make sure the bracket fully engages the hood body.

Ŷ Install the 2 mounting screws (D) or wood screws

(L)as needed into the designated holes on the back panel.

INSTALL DUCT COVERS

1.For ducted and recirculation installation:

Remove protective film from duct covers. Place the upper duct cover so that it slides down inside of the lower duct cover.

NOTE: For recirculation, the upper duct cover must be installed with the exhaust vents on the top towards the ceiling.

Depending on the amount of overlap between the top and bottom duct covers, the top may be reversed to hide vent holes. Refer to Installation Height Table for possible heights.

Place the set of duct covers by sitting them down to fit securely on top of the hood. Finish attaching the lower duct cover to the body of the hood with two machine screws (J) that screw from up underneath the hood.

2.Install the upper duct cover by carefully raising it up to avoid scratching until it reaches the ceiling. Push the duct cover flush against the wall, then use two machine screws (J) to mount the upper duct to the duct mounting bracket.

3.If recirculating, install the charcoal filters. Then reinstall the grease filters to the hood, see the Filters section.

4.Turn the power supply on. Turn on the blower and light. If the range hood does not operate, check that the circuit breaker is not tripped or the house fuse blown. If the unit still does not operate, disconnect the power supply and check that the wiring connections have been made properly.
