Installation Requirements

Electrical Requirements

IMPORTANT
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer's responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure 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** and all
local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended
that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

Other Requirements
■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire 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 connections must conform with local
codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the
appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model
serial plate is located behind the filter 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 and C22.2 No.
0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and ordinances.
■ A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each
end of the power supply conduit (at the range hood and at the
junction box).

Before installing the Hood

• The Vent system must terminate outdoors.
•
For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few
elbows as possible. CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
• At least two people are necessary for installation.
• Fittings material are provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls and ceilings. Consult a qualified installer to confirm that
the fittings are suitable for your cabinets, walls, and ceiling.
• Do not use flexible ducting.
• COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft
damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a
nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside
temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the
cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as
possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.

Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud
must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
Fittings material are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/
ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify that the fittings are suitable
for your cabinets, walls, and ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the
ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
Ductless version (Recirculating)
For installations where cooking fumes and vapor cannot be discharged
to the outside, attach a charcoal filter and the deflector on the duct cover
support bracket. Fumes and vapors will be recycled through the top grille
by a duct connected to the transition and the transition mounted on the
deflector.
NOTE
For horizontal discharge only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit.
Minimum Duct Size: 6" Round Pipe.
CAUTION
■ For electric/induction cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood
so the bottom is at least 24" (61cm) above the cooking surface.
■ For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom
is at least 27" (68.6 cm) above the cooking surface.
■ For both, mount no higher than 36" (91.4 cm) above the cooking
surface.
■ Measure the mounting height from the surface of the range to the
bottom of the hood.
WARNING
This hood is intended for household use.
PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR THE HOOD´S
SPECIFIC APPLICATION. Check your ceiling height and the hood´s
height before selecting your hood.
