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.

■ This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops

with a maximum total rating of 50,000 BTUs or less.

■ Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical

Requirements” section.

■ All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will

be installed must be sealed.

■ These range hoods are factory set for vented installations.

Models that are capable of being installed as non-vented (recirculating) require charcoal ﬁlters. See the “Assistance or Service” section for information on ordering charcoal ﬁlters.

Parts needed

Cold Weather Installations

An additional backdraft 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.

Venting System

Venting Methods

NOTES:

■ Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent

creates both back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.

■ The vent system is optional for this model.

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 31/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 7" (17.8 cm) or larger round vent with a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.

Local building codes may require the use of makeup 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 Requirements

■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except

for non-vented (recirculating) installations.

■ 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 7" (17.8 cm) round metal vent or 3

(8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent, depending on your installation requirement. 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" (61.0 cm) of straight

vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.

■ Do not install 2 elbows together.

■ Use clamps or duct tape 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.

Electrical Requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure 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.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualiﬁed electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

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 connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating

of the appliance as speciﬁed on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located inside the range hood on the left wall.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

■ Depending on your model, determine which venting

method to use: roof, wall, or non-vented (recirculating).

■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before

the range hood is installed. Go to “Venting System” in the “Installation Requirements” section if you need assistance.

■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance

within the ceiling or wall for the vent system.

1. Disconnect power

WARNING

3. Install Brackets

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

2. Mark Hole Locations

Align the exterior edge of the mounting brackets with the exterior edges of the upper cabinet.

IMPORTANT: The brackets should touch the upper cabinet. With a pencil, mark the upper holes on the brackets.

■ Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, install the drywall anchors.

■ Using #8-18 x 1" (4.2 x 25 mm) ﬂat-head #2 Phillips screws,

install the mounting brackets using the upper holes.

NOTE: For installations to a surface other than drywall, it is recommended that a qualiﬁed contractor determine the anchoring method.

4. Prepare Range Hood

■ Set the range hood on its back on a covered surface.

■ Remove the ﬁlter, locking screw, and side panels.

■ Remove the rectangular damper.

■ Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the electrical

box cover.

■ Using a ﬂat-blade screwdriver, remove the appropriate

power supply knockout.

5. Mark Hole Locations

6. Mark and Cut Vent Opening

31/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) Rectangular Vent System

Lift the range hood into place and insert the mounting bracket tabs through the slots in the back of the range hood.

90¡

D D

Hold the range hood ﬁrmly in place with one hand and bend each mounting tab (A) upward approximately 90°.

OPTIONAL: Mark the hole in each mounting tab. Mark the hole at the power supply knockout (B).

For a non-vented (recirculating) installation: Go to Step 7. For a top vented installation: Mark the 4 vent hole

locations (C) on the top of the range hood. For a rear vented installation: Mark the 4 vent hole

locations (D) on the rear of the range hood. Remove the range hood and set it aside.

■ Using a

7" (17.8 cm) Round Vent System

1" (2.5 cm)

■ Using the 7" (17.8 cm) round vent mounting plate, draw the

vent opening outline on the underside of the cabinet:

- Place the vent mounting plate on the bottom of the

cabinet. Position the edge of the plate with the widest distance (A) between the hole and edge of the mounting plate against the wall. Position the side edges of the mounting plate between the dots marked previously.

IMPORTANT: The widest edge (A) of the vent mounting plate must be positioned against the wall.

- Trace the 7" (17.8 cm) vent opening (solid line) on the

cabinet bottom.

■ Using a jigsaw or keyhole saw, cut the vent opening

1" (2.5 cm) larger than the 7" (17.8 cm) hole traced (dashed line).

7. Drill Electrical Opening

Using a 11/4" (3 cm) drill bit, drill the hole in the dot marked previously at the electrical strain relief.

OPTIONAL: Using a 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit, drill pilot holes for the dots marked previously at each mounting tab at an approximate 45° angle in an upward direction.

8. Prepare Range Hood Vents

and Mounting Tabs

9. Attach Vent Damper or Transition

NOTE: If the wall cap used has a damper and it interferes with the rectangular damper, remove the rectangular damper ﬂap.

■ Install Strain Relief

Install a UL listed/CSA approved 1/2" (13 mm) strain relief (A).

■ Mounting Tabs

Start a #8-18 x 5/8" (4.2 x 16 mm) truss-head screw into the mounting tab (F) on each side of the range hood as shown in the inset. Insert the screws approximately 2 turns into the mounting tab holes.

■ Non-vented (Recirculating) Installations

Remove the (2) T10 Torx® screws and remove the top, front rectangular vent cover (E). Go to Step 12.
