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 specied on the model/serial rating plate.
The model/serial plate is located behind the lter 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

Venting Requirements (ducted model 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 efcient performance.
For the most efcient 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
This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or
wall. A 6” (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 6” (15.2 cm) round.
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 30” (76.2 cm) for a gas cooking
surface, and a suggested maximum of 36” (91.4 cm) above the range to
the bottom of the hood.
Rear discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside.
the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version. tting a
charcoal lter and the deector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through
the top grille.
