■■ Vent clamps/duct tape as required
For 7" (17.8 cm) round vented installations:
■■ 7" (17.8 cm) round metal vent system
For 3¹⁄4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular vented installations:
■■ 3¹⁄4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent system
For non-vented (recirculation) installations:
■■ Charcoal Filter Kit. For information on ordering, see the “Accessories” section.
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.

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 3¹⁄4" x 10" (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.
■■ 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
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.

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
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.
Determine Wiring Hole Location
Cut only one 1¹⁄4" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole.
1.Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.

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.
