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 55,000 BTUs or less.

■ Grounded electrical outlet is required. See the “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 “Accessories” section to order Charcoal Filter Kit.

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.

Installation Clearances

■ 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.

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.

Makeup Air

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

A. 18" (45.7 cm) min. clearance - upper cabinet to countertop B. 24" (61.0 cm) minimum - bottom of range hood to cooking surface C. 30" (76.2 cm) min. cabinet opening width for 30" (76.2 cm) models

36" (91.4 cm) min. cabinet opening width for 36" (91.4 cm) models D. 12" (30.5 cm) minimum cabinet depth E. 36" (91.4 cm) base cabinet height

Venting Requirements

■ This range hood is factory set to exhaust the air to

the outside through the wall or the roof. A non-vented (recirculating) installation will require a Charcoal Filter Kit. See the “Accessories” section for ordering information.

■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for

nonvented (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 a 7" (17.8 cm) round metal vent or a 3¹⁄

(8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent, depending on your installation requirements. 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.

" x 10"

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3¹⁄4" x 10" (8.3 cm 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.

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

■ 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

NOTE: 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.

1. Disconnect power.

WARNING

■ 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.

■ 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.

To wire through top:

1. Mark a line distance “A” from the right of the centerline

on the underside of the cabinet. For 12" (30.5 cm) deep cabinets, mark the point on this line that is 2" (5.1 cm) from the back wall. For 15" (38.1 cm) deep cabinets, mark the point on this line that is 5" (12.7 cm) from the back wall. Drill a 1¼" (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the cabinet at this point.

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. Depending on your model, determine which venting method

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

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

covering over that surface.

4. Lift the range hood and set it upside down onto covered

surface.
