Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Have a qualied technician install the range hood. It is the
installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances
specied on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/
rating plate is located behind the left lter on the rear wall of the
vent hood.
Canopy hood location should be away from strong draft areas,
such as windows, doors and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.
This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops
withamaximum total rating of 65,000 BTUs or less.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.
The canopy hood is factory-set for venting through the roof or
wall. For non-vented (recirculating) installation see “For NonVented (Recirculating) Installation Only” in the “Connect Vent
System” section. Recirculation Kit Part Number W10692908 is
available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor.
All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy hood will be
installed must be sealed.
For Mobile Home Installations
The installation of this range hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24
CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such
standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home
Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and
Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, or latest edition, or with local
codes.

Venting Requirements
(vented models only)
■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for
non-vented (recirculating) installations.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
enclosed area.
■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
■ Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efcient performance.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent
between the elbows, if more than 1 elbow is used.
■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■ Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall
cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the
range hood.
■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
■ The size of the vent should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold airow and a thermal break should be installed
to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specied CFM of
air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your
area.

*NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed
to meet varying ceiling or soft heights depending on the
distance “X” between the bottom of the range hood and the
cooking surface. For higher ceilings, a Stainless Steel Chimney
Extension Kit Part Number W10272075 is available from your
dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension
replaces the chimney shipped with the range hood.
Venting Methods
This canopy hood is factory-set for venting through the roof or
wall.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent
creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To
vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
Rear discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.

For Non-Vented (Recirculating) Installations
Wall cap
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating)
version, tting a charcoal lter and the deector. Fumes and
vapors are recycled through the top grille.

Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
(latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local
codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.

■ A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A, fused electrical circuit is
required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
Connect the aluminum wiring using special connectors
and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to
aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's
recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection
must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring
practices.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the appliance as specied on the model/serial/rating plate.
The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the left lter
on the rear wall of the range hood.
■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA
Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
hood is installed.
■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
■ Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum
before you select your hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall,
or non vented.
3. Select a at surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
WARNING
b. For wall anchors, drill 7/16" (10 mm) holes at all locations
where wall anchors are being used.
6. a. For wood, install the 2 - 5 x 45 mm mounting screws.
Leave a 1/4" (6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of
the screw head to slide range hood into place.
b. For wall anchors, install the 10 x 60 mm wall anchors and
install the 5.4 x 75 mm screws into the wall anchors. Tighten
until wall anchors are secure.
Back the screws out 1/4" (6.4 mm).
1/4"

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered
surface.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the
canopy hood will be installed.
2. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24"
(61.0 cm) for an electric cooking surface, a minimum of
27" (68.6 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a suggested
maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom of
the hood. Mark a reference line on the wall.
3. Tape template in place, aligning the template centerline and
bottom of template with hood bottom line and with the
centerline marked on the wall.

2. Determine the required height for the home power supply
cable and drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.
3. Run the home power supply cable according to the National
Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and
ordinances. There must be enough 1/2" conduit and wires
from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make
the connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.
4. Use caulk to seal all openings.
Install In-Line Smart Kit - Optional
NOTE: Your range hood can work with either an internal or an
inline (external) blower motor system. An optional In-Line Smart
