Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Have a qualiﬁed technician install the range hood. 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 behind the left ﬁlter on the rear wall of the vent hood.

Canopy 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.

This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops with a maximum total rating of 60,000 BTUs or less.

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

The canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For non-vented (recirculating) installation see “For nonvented (recirculating) installation only” in the “Connect Vent System” section. Recirculation Kit Part Number W10294733 is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor.

All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy 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.

For higher ceilings, a Stainless Steel Chimney Extension Kit Part Number W10294735 is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood.

Venting Requirements

(vented models only)

■ 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 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.

■ Use metal vent only. 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 the roof

or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.

■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening

around the cap.

■ The size of the vent should be uniform.

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

90 elbo

Wall cap

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 Methods

This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.

A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.

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

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

Rear Discharge

A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.

Example Vent System

2 ft

(0.6 m)

The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

1 - 90° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m) 1 - wall cap = 0 ft (0 m) 8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m) Length of system = 13 ft (3.9 m)

6 ft (1.8 m)

For Non-Vented (Recirculating) Installations

If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, ﬁtting a charcoal ﬁlter and the deﬂector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille.

45° elbow 2.5 ft (0.8 m)

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.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical

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 behind the left ﬁlter on the rear wall of the range hood.

■ 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.

90° elbow 5 ft (1.5 m)

Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(6.4 mm)

■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed

before hood is installed.

■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper

clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

■ Check your ceiling height and the hood height

maximum before you select your hood.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall,

or non-vented.

3. Select a ﬂat surface for assembling the range hood.

Place covering over that surface.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range hood.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto

covered surface.

Prepare Location

5. For wood, drill 3/16" (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations

where screws are being installed into wood. For wall anchors, drill 7/16" (10 mm) holes at all locations

where wall anchors are being used.

6. For wood, install (2) 5 x 45 mm mounting screws. Leave

a 1/4" (6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw head to slide range hood into place.

For wall anchors, install the 10 x 60 mm wall anchors and install the 5.4 x 75 mm screws into the wall anchors. Tighten until the wall anchors are secure. Back the screws out 1/4" (6.4 mm).

¹⁄₄

Vent Cover Bracket Installation

7. Attach vent cover bracket to wall ﬂush to the ceiling using (2)

5 x 45 mm screws. Use the optional wall anchors if needed.

Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation

1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where

the canopy hood will be installed.

2. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24" (61 cm)

for an electric cooking surface, a minimum of 27" (68.6 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom of the hood. Mark a reference line on the wall.

3. Tape template in place, aligning the template centerline

and bottom of template with hood bottom line and with the centerline marked on the wall.
