Electrical
requirements
Before you start...
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.
Range hood 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" (61 cm) above cooking
surface.
All openings in ceiling and wall where
range hood will be installed must be
sealed.
Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to
potential hazards that can kill
or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the
safety alert symbol and either the word
“DANGER” or “WARNING”. These
words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t follow instructions.
DANGER
WARNING
Your safety and the safety of
others are very important.
We have provided many important
safety messages in this manual and
on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
All safety messages will tell you what
the potential hazard is, tell you how to
reduce the chance of injury, and tell
you what can happen if the instructions
are not followed.
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t immediately
follow
instructions.
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
local code authorities.
When cutting or drilling into wall
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.
Tools and materials
needed for installation:
• Phillips head
screwdriver
• drill
• 1-1/2" (4.0 cm)
drill bit
• keyhole saw
• sabre or jig saw
• metal snips
• tape (for template)
• duct tape
• pencil
• UL- or CSA-listed
1/2" (12.5 mm)
conduit connector
(for range hood)
• 1 wall or roof cap
• power supply
cable (if not
previously
installed)
• metal vent system
(if not previously
installed)
Parts supplied:
• four 2-3/4" (7 cm) screws
• four 2" (5.1 cm) screws
• hood installation template
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 (COPPER WIRE 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 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.
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).
Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
It is the 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.

Vent system
requirements
Do not terminate the vent system
in an attic or other enclosed area.
Do not use 4"(10.2 cm) laundrytype 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.
Vent system needed for
installation is not included. 3-1/4
" x
10" (8.3 cm x 25 cm) rectangular is
recommended.

For vented models:
• 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.

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.
fanlight
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.
Use and Care Information
WARNING — To reduce the risk of
fire or electrical shock, do not use
this fan with any solid-state speed
control device.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Use this unit only in the manner
intended by the manufacturer. If
you have questions, contact the
manufacturer. Before servicing or
cleaning unit, switch power off at
service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device such as
a tag to the service panel
CAUTION: For general ventilating
use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials
and vapors.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when
cooking at high heat or when
cooking flaming foods.
Clean ventilating fans frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
SMOTHER FLAMES with a closefitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out
immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
— You may be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including
wet dishcloths or towels — a
violent steam explosion will
result. Use an extinguisher ONLY
if:
You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in
the area where it is started.
The fire department is being
called.
You can fight the fire with your
back to an exit.
