NOTE: If installing into existing construction and you will not have access to the ductwork
once the hood is in place, make ducting connections at this point. Refer to the Ducting Section
for instructions.
5.
Install the 4 mounting screw at the previously marked locations. Leave approximately 1/8"
clearance. Slide the hood in place through the keyhole slots and align the front of the hood
so that it is flush with the front of the cabinets. Tighten all screws securely (Figure 6).

Wiring
CAUTION:
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL
WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1.
For proper wiring, it is necessary to have the house supply power run to the range
hood location.
2.
As this is a remote mounted switch, the installer will need to provide & mount a
3-gang electrical box at the desired switch location. The box must meet the ergonomic
requirements outlined by the American Disabilities Act.
3.
It will be necessary to run additional cabling between the range hood & switch control
box (not included). It is recommended that a 3-conductor cable (black, white, red, plus
ground) and a 2-conductor cable (black, white, plus ground) be installed between the
range hood & switch box prior to installation of the hood. Label the 3-conductor cable
"Cable A" and the 2-conductor cable "Cable B" to help simplify the connections.
4.
Connections at the range hood (Figure 7):
Connect the house supply ground wire (green or bare) to the stranded green grounding
wire of the hood and to the ground wires of Cables A and B.
Connect the house supply neutral wire (white) to the 2 stranded white wires in the range
hood wire box.
Connect one of the black stranded wires of the range hood fuse holder to the house
supply hot (black) wire.
Connect the other black wire from the range hood fuse holder to the black wire of Cable A.
Connect the white wire of Cable A to the stranded blue wire of the range hood (this blue
wire leads to a capacitor mounted in the the wire box).

ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE
Connect the red wire of Cable A to the stranded red wire of the range hood (this red wire
leads to a rectangular six pin connector mounted in the side of the wire box).
Connect the black wire of Cable B to the stranded red wire of the range hood (this red
wire leads to a flat 4-pin connector in the wire box).
Connect the white wire of Cable B to the stranded blue wire of the range hood (this blue
wire leads to a flat 4-pin connector in the wire box).
Use approved methods for all connections.
Connections at the switch box (Figure 7):
5.
Connect the black wire of Cable A to the center black wire of BOTH rocker switches.
Connect the white wire of Cable A to the white wire of the fan switch.
Connect the red wire of Cable A to the red wire of the fan switch.
Connect the black wire of Cable B to the red wire of the light switch.
Connect the white wire of Cable B to the white wire of the light switch.
Connect the green wires from both Cable A and Cable B to the green wire attached to
wall plate.
Use approved methods for all connections.

After all connections have been made, install the wire compartment cover and tighten screw.
Make sure all wiring is securely contained within the wire compartment.
SECTION 6
Ducting
CAUTION:
BUILDING CODES.
NOTE: The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air
flow, 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 flow.
1.
Connect the ducting to the hood's duct collar and damper. Ensure duct joints and exterior
penetrations are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path to
minimize building heat loss or gain and to reduce the potential for condensation. Place/
wrap insulation around duct and/or fan in order to minimize possible condensation
buildup within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain (Figure 8).
