  • 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 connection 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.

Venting Requirements (ducted models only)

  • Vent system must terminate outdoors.
  • Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
  • Do not use a 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 the vent system and the 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 the exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
  • The size of the vent should be uniform.

Venting Methods

To use the hood’s top outlet to vent your hood, a 6” (15.2 cm) round vent system is required. To use the hood’s rear outlet, a 31 ⁄4” x 10” (8.25 x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent system is required. Neither of these vent systems are included and must be purchased separately.

NOTE

Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance. The vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

Mounting Height

Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24” (61 cm) for an electric cooking surface, a minimum of 27” (68.6 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a suggested maximum of 36” (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom of the hood

Installation Instructions

We recommend that a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the range hood complies with the installation clearances specified for the product.

Prepare the Location

We recommend you install the vent system before you install the hood.

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for vent fittings.

If the cabinet you are attaching the hood to is not mounted on the wall yet, it may be easier to attach the cutout to the bottom of the cabinet before mounting the cabinet on the wall.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall.

3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place a covering over that surface.

WARNING

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

USE TWO OR MORE PEOPLE TO MOVE AND INSTALL THE RANGE HOOD. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN BACK OR OTHER INJURIES.

4. Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood onto a covered surface.

5. If the cabinet has a recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each side to fill in the space. Install screws to attach filler strips in the locations shown in the illustration at the top of the next column. NOTE: All the screw locations must be measured from the cabinet’s centerline.

6. Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.

Determine the wiring hole location

Determine the wiring hole location

To wire through the top:

Mark a line Distance “A” (See below) from the left of the centerline on the underside of the cabinet. Mark a point on this line that is 19 ⁄16” (4 cm) from the back wall. Drill a 1¼” (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the cabinet at this point.

To wire through the wall:

Mark a line Distance “A” (See below) from the left of the centerline on the underside of the cabinet. Mark a point on this line that is 1” (2.54 cm) below the bottom of the cabinet. Drill a 1¼” (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the wall at this point.
