reach uncomfortable levels

• Variable speed controls for custom

venting—separate on/off switch allows
you to leave ventilator at favorite/most­used setting

• 12-hour timer built into ventilator

controls

• Delay feature allows you to set the

ventilator to shut off on its own from
10 to 30 minutes later

properly over 27”D. ranges)

• Heavy-duty construction; sleek,

contemporary design and styling

o Virtually seamless stainless steel

design with no visible screws

• Easy cleanup
o Dishwasher-safe, stainless steel mesh

filters efficiently remove grease and
heated vapors from the air, and are
easily removed for quick cleaning
(frame and mesh are stainless steel)

• See Dimensions & Specifications

table for number of filters per model

o Design of low-profile filter system

means less interior hood space to be
cleaned

o Canopy interior is completely lined in

Proper installation/ducting is extremely
important to ensure maximum
performance. Use a qualified and
trained installer.

VENTILATION

• Check with a qualified and
trained installer or local codes
for makeup air requirements, if
any.

• Max. duct run
o For 300 – 1,200 CFM—50’

(15.2 m)
o For 1,500 CFM—75’ (22.9 m)
o Duct run length is for general

reference only; always use a

qualified and trained installer.

o Straight runs and gradual

turns are best; for example,
each 90” elbow is equivalent
to 5’ – 10’ (1.52 – 3.05 cm) of
straight run.

• 7’ round duct for 300 – 600
CFM; 10’ for 900 – 1500 CFM
o Never use flexible duct; it

creates back pressure/air
turbulence and greatly
reduces performance.

GAS

Not applicable

ELECTRICAL

• Hardwire direct with two-wire
with ground

• 120 VAC/60 Hz

• Max. amp usage (rating
includes rec. ventilator kit
rating)

PLUMBING

Not applicable

* A 1,200 CFM interior- or exterior-power ventilator should be used when installed over range/rangetop with gas char-grill.
** It is recommended that the 1,500 CFM ventilator be used with longer duct runs.

Note: Maximum amp rating for hoods includes recommended ventilator kit rating. All products must be hard wired with two-wire ground. An interior- or
exterior-power ventilator kit must be purchased for installation with all 18”H. hoods.
