Proper installation is your responsibility.
Make sure you have everything necessary
for correct installation. It is the responsibility
of the installer to comply with the
clearances specified.
Check the location where the range hood
will be installed. The location should be
away from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors, and strong heating vents.
RH2300 series vent hoods can be
used for vented installations
only.
RH2600 series vent hoods can be
used for non-vented
(recirculating) installations only.
Mobile home installation
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 Construction 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 A225.1/NFPA 501A, or
latest edition, or with local codes.
Important: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
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*,
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.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure range hood is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.

requirements
A.
A 115-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, fused
electrical supply is required. The total
ampere load used, including the range
hood, must not exceed 90% of the rated
capacity of the circuit. The ampere rating
of the range hood is located on the
model/serial number rating plate located
on the side cover of the blower motor
housing.
B.
The range hood must be
connected with copper wire only.
C.
The range hood can be
connected directly to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper
cable. A U.L.-listed strain relief must be
provided at each end of the power supply
cable. Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) and
connections must conform with the rating
of the appliance as specified on the
model/serial rating plate.
For power cord connected installations, a
U.L.-listed range hood cord-connection kit
MUST be used. Note: Some models come
with a factory installed 3 ft. long power
cord having a 3-prong ground plug.
Wire sizes must conform to the requirements
of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70 — latest edition
*, and all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Installation work and electrical wiring must
be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable Codes and
Standards, including Fire Rated
Construction. Sufficient air is needed for
proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA),and the American Society of
Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,
do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire, use
only metal ductwork.

• pliers
• level
• Phillips screwdriver
• metal snips
• drill
• 1-1/4" drill bit
• pencil
• ruler
• caulking gun
• saber saw
• keyhole saw
• duct tape
WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire or
electrical shock, do not use this fan with any
solid-state speed control device.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Use this unit only in the manner intended by
the manufacturer. If you have questions,
contact the manufacturer. Before servicing
or cleaning unit, switch power off at service
panel and lock switch power off at service
panel and lock service panel to prevent
power from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device such as a tag to
the service panel
CAUTION: For general ventilating use only.
Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
Never leave surface units unattended at
high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when cooking flaming foods.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan
or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface
element.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the
flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may
be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths
or towels — a violent steam explosion will
result. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in the area
where it is started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back to an
exit.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards
that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert
symbol and either the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING”. These words mean:

WARNING
Your safety and the safety of others
are very important.
We have provided many important safety
messages in this manual and on your appliance.
Always read and obey all safety messages.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential
hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of
injury, and tell you what can happen if the

Vent system needed for installation is not
included. Backdraft damper supplied with
product must be used. If roof or wall cap
has a damper, do not use damper supplied
with hood. Use metal vent only. Rigid metal
vent is recommended.
Determine which outside venting method
you need to use.
The length of the vent and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum to
provide efficient performance. The size of
the vent should be uniform. Do Not install
two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal
all joints in the vent system. Vent can
terminate either through the roof or wall.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof
opening around exhaust hood. For the
most efficient and quiet operation, it is
recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof using 7"
round vent.
Figures 1-4 show common venting methods
and what types of materials are needed.
Recommended vent length
Use 3-1/4" x 10" or 7" vent with a maximum
length of 26 feet for vent system. For best
performance, use no more than three 90°
elbows. To calculate the length of system
you need, add the equivalent feet for
each vent piece used in the system. See
the following examples.
