INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GP AND SM6500 SERIES RANGE HOODS
PLANNING
• Mounting height MUST BE at a minimum of 22" (558.8 mm) and at a
maximum of 30" (762 mm) above the cooking surface from the bottom
edge of the range hood.
• The hood shall be mounted to the bottom of a standard wall cabinet.
If the hood must be mounted directly to a wall, secure the hood
to wall studs.
• All wiring must be properly grounded. Connection should be made to
a 110-120 VAC lighting circuit (15A) in the circuit breaker or fuse box.
• This range hood is 'Convertible', it may be installed as a ducted or
as a non-ducted unit.
IF THE RANGE HOOD IS TO BE DUCTED:
• Ductwork can be installed vertically or horizontally.
• Duct runs should be as short as possible.
• Avoid the use of elbows.
• Use duct tape at all joints.
• Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
NON DUCTED:
• Disregard instructions for knockout.
• Discard damper, it will not be used.
PREPARATION
1. Use the dimensional drawing to lay out the range hood's mounting
holes, wiring access and ductwork.
2. Make cut-outs for wiring and ductwork.
3. If the hood is to be ducted, install the ductwork so that it is flush to
the range hood's mounting surface.
• Refer to Figure 1 if the range hood is to be installed with a
horizontal discharge.
• Refer to Figure 2 if the range hood is to be installed with a
vertical discharge.
4. Remove the necessary duct opening and wiring knockout from the
range hood.
NOTE: If the range hood is to be installed as a ducted unit
install baffle (Refer to Figure 5) by sliding into place
behind grille. Use locator bumps to orient in grille.
NOTE: If the range hood is to be installed as a ductless unit,
do not remove any knockouts.
5. Run two-conductor wires (with ground) from a power source to the
hood location. Bring approximately 12" (304.8 mm) or wiring through
wiring hole in cabinet.
6. Drill four 3/32" (2.4 mm) diameter pilot holes at points where
mounting holes are marked in the filler strips or cabinet bottom.
7. Insert four (4) mounting screw (not supplied), leaving approximately
1/4" (6.4 mm) of thread exposed. Use No. 8 or No. 10 round head screws.
INSTALLATION
1. Refer to Figure 6 for a vertical discharge installation. Secure 3
1/4" (82.6 mm) x 10" (254 mm) transition (if used) to top of hood.
Refer to Figure 7 for a horizontal discharge installation. If
using the supplied 3 1/4" (82.6 mm) x 10" (254 mm) duct
transition, remove the damper from the transition to prevent
possible venting interference. Position transition into wall cutout
(the transition does not fasten the hood).
Refer to Figure 4 for 7" (177.8 mm) round discharge
installation. Secure 7" (177.8 mm) transition to top if hood using
screws provided.
2. Feed the wiring through the access hole and into the electrical box.
3. Align hood's keyhole mounting slots over the four (4) partially
installed screws.
4. Making sure the duct position over the hood's duct transition push
the hood against the rear wall. Secure hood by tightening screws.
5. Using a long blade screwdriver, reach into the discharge opening
and make sure the damper operates freely.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
All wiring connections must comply with local code and the unit must
be properly grounded.
1. Make sure box connector is secure.
2. Refer to Figure 8. Make wiring connections.
3. Replace electrical box cover and secure with screw.
COMPLETING ASSEMBLY
1. Install a 75 W (maximum) light bulb in the receptacle.
2. Install filter and light lens assembly.
3. For ductless use with charcoal filter (FKM-65): Install 2 filter
clips by sliding into the receivers on the sides of the hood fan housing.
