Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■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 left wall.

■Range 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. Consult the cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions before making any cutouts.

■Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.

■The hood is factory-set for vented installations.

■All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be installed must be sealed.

For Mobile Home Installations

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 A225.1/NFPA 501A*, or latest edition, or with local codes.

Venting Requirements

■Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.

■Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.

■Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.

■Use a 6" (15.2 cm) or larger round metal vent or a 3¼" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent. 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 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 roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.

■Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

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 make up 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

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3¼" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 6" (15.2 cm) or larger round vent with a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that gently reduces performance.

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow.

F.Seal duct joints with duct tape/caulk

Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path and to minimize building heat loss and gain and reduce the potential for condensation.

Place/wrap insulation around duct and/or fan in order to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct,

building heat loss and gain.

Install Vent System

1.Install vent through the vent opening in upper cabinet or wall. Complete venting system according to the selected venting method. See “Venting Requirements” section.

2.Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

Install Range Hood

Complete Preparation

1.Remove the grease filters. See the “Range Hood Care” section.

■Depending on your installation, remove either top or rear rectangular vent knockout. If using round vent, remove top rectangular knockout.

■Make sure damper pivot is nearest to top/back edge of range hood.

■Remove tape from damper flap.

NOTE: The exhaust adaptor/damper can be installed up to 1" (2.5 cm) on either side of the hood center to accommodate off-center ductwork.

■If using rectangular vent, attach rectangular damper/ vent connectors to the range hood using sheet metal screws.
