INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

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.
Optional Backsplash Installation
NOTE: The following instructions are for the backsplash without
shelves. If you are installing the Backsplash with Shelves for Heat
Lamps, follow the instructions included with that product. (See
"Accessories" in the "Assistance or Service" section to order.)
The hardware package supplied with the kit includes 4 plastic
wall anchors and mounting screws.
The height of the backsplash will determine the height of the
range hood.
NOTE: The minimum height of the range hood above the
cooktop is 30" (76.2 cm). The backsplash can be extended
from 19²³⁄₃₂" (50.1 cm) to 39" (99.1 cm). As the 30" (76.2 cm)
installation height increases, the range hood's capture area
decreases.
Determine height of the range hood.
Using 2 or more people, position the backsplash on the wall
so that the top of the backsplash is at the height of the
bottom edge of the range hood. Mark the location of the four
corner holes. It is recommended that the backsplash be
attached to the wall at all four corners. However, the lower
flange can be secured between the wall and backspash,
countertop or cabinet base without using the bottom corner
screws.
Drill ⁵⁄₁₆" (8 mm) holes.
Push plastic wall anchors all the way into the holes.
Position the holes in the backsplash over the wall anchors
and attach using the screws supplied.
