Venting
•
Depending on exterior ventilation chosen (see page 12), either exit the ducting through the ceiling or wall.
•
Always use rigid type metal/aluminum duct tube (follow the building codes in your area) to
maximize airflow. Make sure that the backdraft flaps can open, to allow maximum airflow.
Connect the duct tube to the vent/damper and securely seal with certified aluminum or foil tape
so that it is air tight. Please check the building codes in your city to learn which tape product is
recommended.
•
For external recirculation, please visit anconahome.com to purchase a recirculation kit (sold
separately), and move locker (located next to motor) into position. (see Figure #13)
IMPORTANT:
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
•
It is the customer’s responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer.
• 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 120-Volt, 60
Hz, AC-only, fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp circuit,
fused on both sides of the line.
• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure that the range hood is properly grounded.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
IMPORTANT: Save this Installation Guide for electrical inspector’s use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short-circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING:
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
• The range hood must be connected with copper wire/plug only. The range hood should be connected directly to
the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. UL/
CSA listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable. Use only with range hood cord-
connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for use with this model.
