Advance Planning
ADVANCE PLANNING
Ductwork Planning
•This hood is equipped for 8" round ductwork.
• Determine the exact locution of the vent hood,
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors,
This hood is not designed for a recirculating
venting operation,
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible, For satisfactory performance, duct run
should not exceed 100 ft, equivalent length for any
duct configurations,
• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct runs to
the outdoors,
• Use rigid metal ductwork only,
• Install u wall or roof cap with damper at the
exterior opening. Order the cap and any transitions
needed in advance.
Wall and Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support
This vent hood is heavy and the cabinet structure
needs to support the weight of the loaded insert
sleeve. Adequate structural support must be
provided in all types of installations.
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is
installed before the cooktop is installed,
Custom Cabinet Frame Planning
•The custom-built canopy should be sized to
accommodate the hood insert, and ducting
dimensions in the bottom of cabinet should be
26" W bg !3-3/!6" D for the 30" and 36" models
and 38-3/4" W by !3-3/!6" D for the 48" models.
Remote Mounting of the Control (Wired}
•The control can be remotely mounted on the wall
or the countertop.
• It is recommended that you use a professional
installer for the countertop cutout.
• It is recommended that the cutout in a granite
countertop or other hard surface be made before
the countertop is installed.
•The cutout needs to be made at least 6 inches
from the edges of the countertop.
• If mounting in the countertop above a drawer,
consideration must be given to the depth of the
control mounting assembly.
•A 30 ft. wire cord is provided. Careful consideration
must be given to the location of the remotely
mounted control.
• It is recommended that the a-wire cord be routed
through !" conduit between the insert sleeve and
the remote mounting location.

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

Electrical Supply
This vent hood must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz,
and connected to an individual, properly grounded
branch circuit, and protected bg a 15 or 20 amp
circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
• Route house wiring as close to the installation
location as possible, in the ceiling or back wall,
• Connect the hood wiring to the house wiring in
accordance with local codes.
• House wiring must extend to 45" minimum from
bottom of cabinet in order to make connection to
hood wiring.
Grounding Instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to
a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.

DUCT FITTINGS
Use this chart to compute
maximum permissible lengths for
duct runs to outdoors.
NOTE: Do not exceed maximum
permissible equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length:
100 foot for 8" round duct
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting is used,
all the equivalent feet values in
the table should be doubled.
The flexible metal duct should
be straight and smooth and
extended as much as possible.
DO NOT use flexible plastic
ducting.
NOTE: Any home ventilation
system, such as a ventilation hood,
may interrupt the proper flow of
combustion air and exhaust
required by fireplaces, gas
furnaces, gas water heaters and
other naturally vented sgstems.
To minimize the chance of
interruption of such naturoffg
vented sgstems, follow the
heating equipment manufacturer's
guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by NFPA
and ASHRAE.
