Have a qualied technician install the range hood. It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specied on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/ rating plate is located behind the left lter on the rear wall ofthevent hood. Canopy hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents. Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops with amaximum total rating of 65,000 BTUs or less. Grounded electrical outlet is required. See the “Electrical Requirements” section. The canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For non-vented (recirculating) installation, see “For non-vented (recirculating) installation only” in the “Connect Vent System” section. Recirculation Kit is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. See the “Assistance or Service” section to order. All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy hood will be installed must be sealed. For Mobile Home Installations The installation of this range hood must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or, whensuch standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, orlatest edition, or with local codes.

See the “Assistance or Service” section to order. Venting Requirements (vented models only) ■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors except for non-vented (recirculating) installations. ■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area. ■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap. ■ Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended. ■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should bekept to a minimum to provide efcient performance.For the Most Efcient and Quiet Operation: ■ Use no more than three 90° elbows. ■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight ventbetween the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used. ■ Do not install two elbows together. ■ Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system. ■ The vent system must have a damper. If the roof orwallcaphas a damper, do not use the damper suppliedwith therange hood. ■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening aroundthecap. ■ The size of the vent should be uniform. Cold Weather Installations An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air ow and a thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.6 Makeup Air Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specied CFM of air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in yourarea. Venting Methods This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof orwall. A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (notincluded). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round. NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduceperformance. Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Tovent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed. Rear Discharge A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood. 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, tting a charcoal lter and the deector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille. 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 6" (15.2 cm) Round 45° elbow 2.5 ft (0.8 m) 90° elbow 5 ft (1.5 m) Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m). Example Vent System The following example falls within the maximum recommendedvent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m) Length of system = 13 ft (3.9 m) Electrical Requirements Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with 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) andall local codes and ordinances. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, itisrecommended that a qualied electrician determine thattheground path is adequate. A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02169-7471 CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, OH 44131-5575 ■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuitisrequired. ■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedurebelow: Connect the aluminum wiring 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 specied on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the left lter 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 andC22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes andordinances.
