Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Have a qualied technician install the range hood. It is the

installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specied on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/ rating plate is located behind the left lter 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 isavailable from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

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.

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 efcient performance.

For the Most Efcient 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 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 makeup 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

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.

For Non-Vented (Recirculating) Installations

90 Elbo

Wall cap

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, tting a charcoal lter and the deector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille. See the “Assistance or Service” section for information on ordering.

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 qualied 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: Connect the aluminum wiring 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/rating plate is located behind the left 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.

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)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(6.4 mm)

Prepare Location

■ 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 at 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.

5. Remove wood base from range hood and dispose

ofproperly.

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.

cable and drill a 11/4" (3.2 cm) hole at this location.

3. Run the home power supply cable according to the National

Electrical Code or CSA Standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be enough 1/2" conduit and wires from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the connection in the hood’s electrical terminal box.

NOTE: Do not reconnect power until installation is complete.

4. Use caulk to seal all openings.

4. Mark centers of the fastener locations through the template

to the wall. IMPORTANT: All canopy mounting screws must be installed

into wood where possible. If there is no wood to screw into, additional wall framing supports may be required or use (4) 10 x 60 mm wall anchors and 5.4 x 75 mm screws (not included).
