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, using a Recirculation Kit (which includes charcoal filters
and a deflector). To order, see the "Assistance or Service"
section.

Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the
equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
Vent Piece
45° elbow
90° elbow
Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).
Example vent system
90 elbow
6 ft (1.8 m)
2 ft
(0.6 m)
The following example falls within the maximum recommended
vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).
1 - 90° elbow = 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
1 - wall cap = 0.0 ft (0.0 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
Length of system = 13.0 ft (3.9 m)

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 qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.

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
