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
C22.1-94, 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.
Fle×ible 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.
