are not followed.

Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.

Proper installation is your

responsibility:

• Have a qualified technician install this
range hood.

• Comply with installation clearances
specified on the model/serial rating
plate.

If installation is non-vented
(recirculating), you must use Non-Vent
(recirculating) Kit Part No. 4396273,

available from your dealer.The kit fits
all models.

The model/serial rating plate is located
inside the range hood.To access,

remove the grease filters.
Rangehood location should be away

from strong draft areas,such as windows,
doors and strong heating vents.

Grounded electrical connection is
required. See "Electrical requirements."

Important: This hood must be a
minimum of 24" (61cm) above cooking

surface.
All openings in ceiling and wall where

range hood will be installed must be
sealed.

Tools and materials

needed for installation:

• Phillips head • UL-or CSA-listed
screwdriver 1/2" (12.5 mm)

• drill conduit connector

• 1-1/2" (4.0 cm) (forrange hood)

WARNING -- TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:
Installation work and electrical

wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all

applicable Codes and Standards,
including fire related construction.

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 of Heating
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

Engineers (ASHRAE), and the
Iocal code authorities.

When cutting or drilling into wail
or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden

utilities.
Ducted fans must always be

vented to the outdoors.
WARNING -- To reduce the risk

of fire, use only metal ductwork.
This unit must be grounded.

Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.

It isthe customer's responsibility:

• To contact a qualified electrical
installer.

• To assure 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 qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, fused
electrical system is required on a
separate 15-amp circuit, fused on

both sides of the line.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrician if
you are not sure range hood is
properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
ground circuit.

IMPORTANT.'
Save installation instructions for

electrical inspector's use.

The range hood must be connected
with copper wire only.

The range hood should be
connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box
through flexible armored or

nonmetallic sheathed copper cable.

Wire sizes (COPPERWIRE ONLY) and
connections must conform with the

rating of the appliance as specified

on the model/serial rating plate.
Wire sizes must conform to the

requirements of the National

Electrical Code ANSl/NFPA 70 --

latest edition*, or CSA Standards

O22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code

Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest
edition** and all local codes and
ordinances.

A U.L.- or CSA-listed strain relief must

be provided at each end of the power
supply cable (at the range hood and

at the junction box).

For vented models:

Do not terminate the vent system
in an attic or other enclosed area,

Do not use 4" (10,2 cm) laundry-
type wall caps.

Use metal vent only, Rigid metal
vent is recommended, Do not use

plastic or metal foil vent.
Flexible vent is not

recommended, Flexible vent
creates back pressure that greatly
reduces the hood's performance,

• The size of the vent should be

uniform.

• 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 one elbow is used.

• Do Not install two elbows
together.

• The length of vent system and
number of elbows should be

kept to a minimum to provide
efficient performance.

• 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 duct tape to seal all joints
in the vent system.

• Use caulking to seal exterior wall
or roof opening around the cap.

Note: It is recommended that the
vent system be installed before

installing the hood.

bottom (no frame), use the four
shorter 2" (5.1 cm) long screws

in parts bag.

Feed enough wire into wiring box
to easily make the connections

and tighten the strain relief.
Insert the four screws through

cabinet bottom and into hood.
Start screws into hood and

Operation of

range hood

For best results, turn range hood

fan ON at beginning of cooking
and allow it to run until all smoke

and odors are removed from the

room.

To turn fan ON and OFF:
Slide fan control to turn fan on

and off and adjust fan speed.
Speed may be increased or
decreased anytime during range

hood operation.

To turn range hood light
ON and OFF:

Slide light control to turn on or off.

Light may be turned on or off

anytime during range hood
operation.

Deflector: When cooking will create
a lot of smoke, use the deflector.
The deflector will concentrate the

venting action of the hood.
To use deflector, grasp from inside

and pull down. Push up to return
to its original position.
