INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
A. Space Requirements A typical installation can be seen in Figure 1. Study Figure 1
before proceeding. The shelf hood requires an opening that is 30” wide. It is recommended that the cabinet above the cooktop be a maximum of 15” high. This provides the adequate space btween the range cooktop and the shelf hood.
B. Electrical Requirements
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 20Ampere fused electrical supply
is required (Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended). It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Before you begin, determine where the ductwork will run. For best performance, keep the length of ductwork and the number of elbows to a minimum.
Illustrated are some of the more common methods. (Figures 2,3. and 4).
IMPORTANT: THE VENTING SYSTEM MUST TERMINATE TO THE OUTSIDE. DO NOT TERMINATE THE VENT IN AN ATTIC OR OTHER ENCLOSED SPACE. THIS MAY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD.
