ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. 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 inside the range hood on the rear wall of the range hood.
Island 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.
It is recommended that the hood be fastened into solid wood.
The island hood is factory set for venting through the roof or through the wall.
All openings in ceiling and where island hood will be installed must be sealed.

The installation of this range hood must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or
when such standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home
Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI

Example vent system
The following example falls within the maximum vent length of
60 ft (18.3 m).
Vent Piece
45° elbow 2.5 ft (0.8 m)
90° elbow 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
1 - 90° elbow
1 - wall cap
8 ft (2.4 m) straight
= 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
= 0.0 ft (0.0 m)
= 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
Length of system = 13.0 ft (3.9 m)
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS
Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
The maximum equivalent vent length is:
10" (25.4 cm) round vents - 60 ft (18.3 m)
VENTING METHODS
Typical Internal Blower Motor System Venting Installations
A 10" (25.4 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included). The
hood exhaust opening is 10" (25.4 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.
