including re-rated construction.
■ Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the ue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guideline and safety standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society
for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),
and the local code authorities.
■ When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling; do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
■ Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or

Other Requirements
■ 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 connections must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the

Before installing the Hood
• The Vent system must terminate outdoors.
• For the most efcient air ow exhaust, use a straight run or as few
elbows as possible. CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
• At least two people are necessary for installation.
•
Fittings material are provided to secure the hood to most types
walls and ceilings. Consult a qualified installer to confirm that
of
the fittings are suitable for your cabinets, walls, and ceiling.
•
Do not use flexible ducting.
• COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft
damper installed to minimize backward cold air ow and a
nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside
temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the
cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as
possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
Venting Methods
Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual. Samsung is not
responsible for any eventual inconveniences, damages or res caused by
not complying with the instructions in this manual.

Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud
must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
Fittings material are provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify that the fittings are suitable
for your cabinets, walls, and ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the
ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
Ductless version (Recirculating)
For installations where cooking fumes and vapor cannot be discharged
to the outside, attach a charcoal filter and the deflector to the duct cover
support bracket. Fumes and vapors will be recycled through the top grille
by a duct connected to the transition and the transition mounted on the
deflector.
NOTE
For horizontal discharge only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit.
Minimum Duct Size: 6” Round Pipe.
CAUTION
■ For electric/induction cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood
so the bottom is at least 24” (61cm) above the cooking surface.
■ For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom
is at least 27” (68.6 cm) above the cooking surface.
■ For both, mount no higher than 36” (91.4 cm) above the cooking
surface.
■ Measure the mounting height from the surface of the range to the
bottom of the hood.
WARNING
This hood is intended for household use.
PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR THE HOOD´S
SPECIFIC APPLICATION. Check your ceiling height and the hood´s
