with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
■ A minimum side clearance of 6" (15.2 cm) is recommended
between side of cooktop and side wall for maximum
ventilation performance.
■ A minimum clearance of 2" (5.1 cm) is recommended
between the motor/blower and cabinet for proper cooling. A
6" (15.2 cm) clearance is recommended for servicing access.

Venting Requirements
IMPORTANT: This cooktop must be exhausted outdoors.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
■ Use a vent cap.
■ Vent system must terminate to the outside.
■ Use only a 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round or 3¼" x 10"
(8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent except as follows: For
electric cooktops, a 5" (12.7 cm) diameter round vent may be
used for venting straight out the back of the cooktop and
directly through the wall for 10 ft (3.0 m) or less.
■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the wall or floor for the exhaust vent.
■ Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a
joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
■ The size of the vent should be uniform.
■ The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a
damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.
■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
■ Determine which venting method is best for your application.
For Best Performance:
■ Use 26-gauge minimum galvanized or 25-gauge minimum
aluminum metal vent. Poor quality pipe fittings can reduce
airflow. Flexible metal vent is not recommended.
NOTE: Local codes may require a heavier gauge material.
■ Metal duct may be reduced to 30-gauge galvanized steel or
26-gauge aluminized steel if allowed by local codes. This
reduction is based on information in the International
Residential Codes Section M1601.1 (2006 edition).
■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■ If an elbow is used, install it as far away as possible from the
hood’s vent motor exhaust opening.
■ Make sure there is a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) of straight
vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
■ Elbows too close together can cause excess turbulence that
reduces airflow.
■ Do not use a 5" (12.7 cm) elbow in a 6" (15.2 cm) or 3¹⁄₄" x 10"
(8.3 x 25.4 cm) system.
■ Do not reduce to a 5" (12.7 cm) system after using
6" (15.2 cm) or 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) fittings.
■ Avoid forming handmade crimps. Handmade crimps may
restrict airflow.
■ Use a vent cap for proper performance. If an alternate wall or
roof cap is used, be certain the cap size is not reduced and
that it has a back draft damper.
■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept
to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
The maximum equivalent length of the vent system is 60 ft
(18.3 m). For altitudes above 4,500 ft (1272 m), reduce
recommended vent run by 20% for best performance.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air flow and a thermal break 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.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using 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.

Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the
equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

(0.6 m)
1- 90° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
1 - wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)
System length = 13 ft (3.9 m)
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
performance.
Determine Range Blower Setting
This cooktop is equipped with a dual range blower. It is shipped
from the factory in the low range for most installations. If the
equivalent duct length exceeds 30 ft (9.1 m), it must be converted
to high range. Do not convert the blower to high range for shorter
lengths; this will cause excessive noise and conditioned air loss.
Convert blower before installing into countertop if necessary.

Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Before You Make the Electrical Connection:
To properly install your cooktop, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
■ A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC
only electrical supply on a separate, 40-amp circuit breaker is
required for both 30" (76.2 cm) and 36" (91.4 cm) models. If a
fused system is used, fuse both sides of the line.
■ The cooktop should be connected directly to the junction box
through the flexible metal conduit. The flexible, armored cable
extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be
connected directly to the junction box.
■ Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible
between the junction box and the cooktop so that the
cooktop can be moved if servicing becomes necessary in the
future.
■ A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the
cooktop and at the junction box).
■ If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire 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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Use 8 gauge copper wire.
Electrically ground cooktop.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
