Before you start...

Your safety and the safety of

others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to

potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING”. These words mean:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the clearances specified.

Check the location where the range hood will be installed. The location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents.

Mobile home installation

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.

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 Rated Construction. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

WARNING — To reduce the r isk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

This unit must be grounded.

This hood is factory set for vented installations. For non-vented

installations, purchase Charcoal Filter Pad Kit No. 4396390 (contains two filter pads) from your dealer.

Tools and materials needed for installation:

• flat blade screwdriver

• pliers

• drill

• ruler

For vented installations, you also need:

• compass or 8" (20.3 cm) circle template

Electrical requirements

Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is the customer’s responsibility:

•To contact a qualified electrical installer.

•To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.

A separate ground wire must be used. It is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, fused electrical system is required. A separate 15-amp circuit is recommended.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range hood is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

IMPORTANT: Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector’s use.

The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.

The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable. Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate.

Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.

A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range hood and at the junction box).

In U.S. only: For power cord connected installations, a U.L.listed range hood cord-connection kit MUST be used. Cord kit has not been evaluated for use in Canada.

Venting requirements

Venting system must terminate to the outside.

Do not terminate the vent in an attic or other enclosed space.

Do not use four-inch (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.

Do not use plastic vent.

Vent system needed for installation is not included.

Determine which outside venting method needs to be used. It is recommended that the vent system be installed before installing the hood.

NOTE: If a non-vented (recirculating) installation is desired, follow instructions on Page 5.

The length of the vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the vent system should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system. Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around exhaust hood. For the most efficient and quiet operation, it is recommended that the range be vented vertically through the

roof through 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system.

Figures 1 and 2 show common venting methods and what types of materials are needed.

Recommended vent length

Use 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) or 6" (15.2 cm) or larger round vent with a maximum length of 70 feet (21.3 m) for vent system. If 7" (17.8 cm) round vent is used, the maximum length is 80 ft. (24.4 m). For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows. To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system. See the examples on the next page.

With range hood in kitchen.

Slide cardboard or hardboard under range before moving range across floor to prevent damaging floor covering.

Cover countertop, cooktop or set-in range with a thick, protective covering to prevent damaging them.

Disconnect and move freestanding range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to upper cabinet and rear wall. Put a thick, protective covering over cooktop, set-in range or countertop to protect from damage or dirt.

Determine which venting method (roof or wall venting or non-venting) you need to use. This range hood is shipped for vented installation.
