specified on the model/serial rating
plate.

The model/serial rating plate islocated
inside the range hood on the rear wall.

Rangehoodlocationshould be away from
strong draft areas, such aswindows, doors

and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are

shown must be used. Given dimensions
provide minimum clearance. Consult

your cool<top/range manufacturer
installation instructions before making
any cutouts.

Grounded electrical outlet is required.
See "Electrical requirements;'

The canopy hood is factory set for
venting through the roof or wall.To vent
directly through the wall, the blower

must be rotated to face the rear of the
range hood.

All openings in ceiling and wall where
range hood wUl be installed must be

sealed.

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

Vent system must terminate to the outside.
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other

enclosed area.
Do not use 4-inch (10.2cm) laundry-type wall caps.
Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Do

not use plastic or metal foil vent.

For the most efficient and

quiet operation:

• 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 isused.

• 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.

Determine which venting method is best for your
application and follow "Preparation" under "Installation
steps" on Page 5.

Venting methods

This canopy range hood isfactory set for
vertical venting. For rear vent applications, the
blower must be turned insidethe range hood so

that the blower vents to the rear as indicated.
The blower isturned by removing two screws

on each side of the blower, rotating the blower
with the exhaust opening facing the rear and
then replacing the screws. The exhaust cover(s)
must be moved to block the unused opening(s).
The blower must be converted before installing
the range hood.

Vent system needed for installation is not
included.The 30" (76.2 cm), 36" (91.4cm) and

42" (106.7cm) models have one exhaust
opening. 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cmx 25.4 cm)
rectangular, 7" (17.8cm) round, 8" (20.3 cm)
round, 9" (22.9 cm) round, or 10" (25.4 cm)
round vent may be used.The hood exhaust
opening is 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cmx 25.4 cm).

The 48" (121.9cm) model has two 3-1/4" x 10"
(8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) exhaust openings. It is

recommended that VentTransition Kit No.
8284757 be used to transition the two openings

into one 10" (25.4 cm) round vent. (Cannot be
used with Chimney Extension Kit No. 8284754.)

Vent system can terminate either through the
roof or wall.

The vent system length should not exceed the
lengths shown in the chart.
