INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between
the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible. Larger ducting
may be required for best performance with
longer duct runs.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round
metal ductwork to cap and work back to-
wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.
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
airflow.
WIRING
Note: This range hood must be properly
grounded. The unit should be installed by
a qualified electrician in accordance with
all applicable national and local electrical
codes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician
install an outlet near the appliance.
Set the electrical power supply within the space covered by the decorative flues.
Position the power outlet at a maximum distance of 33-7/16" (850 mm) from where the lead
exits from the hood (see illustration alongside). Make sure this does not interfere with the
bracket fastening area or with the decorative flue (where the flue touches the wall).
Fit the plug into the power outlet.
