Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Have a
qualified technician install the range hood. It is the installer's respon-
sibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/
serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located behind the
left filter on the rear wall of the vent 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.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See "Electrical Requirements"
section.
The canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or
wall. This range hood is not available for a Non-Vented (recirculating)
Installation. 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 24
CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Con-
struction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such standard
is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home Installation
1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI

Venting Requirements

(Ducted models only)
• Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for nonvented
(recirculating) installations.
• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
• 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 be kept
to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent
between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
• Do not install 2 elbows together.
• Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
• The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a
damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.

Venting Methods

This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. A
8" (20.32 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included).
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back
pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance. Vent
system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
