Electrical Requirements

IMPORTANT

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer's responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure 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 recom-
mended 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 plate is located behind the 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.

Venting Requirements

(ducted 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
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems with 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.

Preparation

Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or
stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the mate-
rials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance with-
in the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference.
The lower the hood is above the cooktop, the more efficient the
capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke.

Venting Methods

This hood is factory set for venting through the roof (vertical dis-
charge) or wall (horizontal discharge). A 3
rectangular duct system is needed for installation (not included).
The hood exhaust opening is 3
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce perfor-
mance. Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
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 pair of charcoal filters to the blower. Fumes and
vapors are recycled through the round grid. See optional acceso-
ries section.
CAUTION: Mount this hood so that the bottom edge is at 30"
(76.2 cm) minimum or 36" (91.4 cm) maximum above the cooking
surface. Household use, please, read installation manual for spe-
cific application. Check your ceiling height and the hood height
maximum before you select your hood.
