Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation

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.

Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical

Requirements” section.

The hood is factory-set for vented installations. All openings in ceiling and wall where range 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.

Installation Clearances

Cold Weather Installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air ow 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 make up air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specied CFM of air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your area.

Venting Methods

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3¼" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 6" (15.2 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back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air ow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airow.

Venting Requirements

■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.

■ 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 6" (15.2 cm) or larger round metal vent or a 3¼" x 10"

(8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent. 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 efcient 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 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.

A. 6" (15.2 cm) or larger round

tape/caulk

Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path and to minimize building heat loss and gain and reduce the potential for condensation.

Place/wrap insulation around duct and/or fan in order to minimize possible condensation buildup within the duct, building heat loss and gain.

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.

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

3. Select a at surface for assembling the range hood. Place

covering over that surface.

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

surface.

5. If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood ller strips on

each side. Install screws to attach ller strips in locations shown.

■ 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 specied on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial plate is located behind the lter 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.

Determine Wiring Hole Location

Cut only one 11⁄4" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole. See Steps 2 or 3 for wiring hole location instructions.

1. Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall

and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.
