Have a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the
installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances
specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating
plate is located behind the left filter 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
with a maximum 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.

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 caps.
■ 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 efficient performance.
For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:
■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 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 air flow 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 specified CFM of
air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in
your area.
Venting Methods
This canopy range hood is factory set for venting through
the roof or through the 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.

and a deflector). To order, see the “Assistance or Service”
section.

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 qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit
is required.
■ 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.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating
of the appliance as specified on the model/serial/rating plate.
The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the left filter
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 ordinances.
Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).
Example Vent System
The following example falls within the maximum recommended
vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).
1 - 90° elbow= 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
1 - wall cap= 0.0 ft (0.0 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight= 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
Length of system= 13.0 ft (3.9 m)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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.
■ 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 flat surface for assembling the range hood.
Place covering over that surface.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
5. For wood, drill ³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations
where screws are being installed into wood.
For wall anchors, drill ⁷⁄₁₆" (10 mm) holes at all locations
where wall anchors are being used.
6. For wood, install (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.
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 the wall anchors are secure. Back the screws
out ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm).
Vent Cover Bracket Installation
7. Attach vent cover bracket to wall flush to the ceiling using (2)
5 x 45 mm screws. Use the optional wall anchors if needed.
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.
A. Centerline
B. Fastener locations
C. Mounting height reference (hood bottom line)
4. Mark centers of the fastener locations through the template
to the wall.
IMPORTANT: All canopy mounting screws must be installed
into wood where possible. If there is no wood to screw into,
additional wall framing supports may be required, or use the
(4) 10 x 60 mm wall anchors and 5.4 x 75 mm screws.
Remove the template.

Complete Preparation
1. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the
vent system. Install the vent system before installing the
hood. See “Venting Requirements” section.
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 ½" 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.
