• 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
