Electrical Requirements
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
inconformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70— latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
CanadianElectrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.0-M91 - 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.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

IMPORTANT
•
Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector’s use.
•
The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
•
The range hood should be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (Or circuit breaker) box through metal electrical
conduit.
•
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.
•
A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided
at each end of the power supply conduit (at the range hood
and at the junction box).
BEFORE INSTALLING THE HOOD
1.
For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as
few elbows as possible.
I
CAUTION
:Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2.
At least two people are necessary for installation.
3.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types
of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer, check if they
perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.
4.
Do not use flex ducting.
5.
COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional back
draft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and
a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside
temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be
on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be
as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated
portion of the house.
6.
Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of
Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation Systems
greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified
CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC
professional for specific requirements in your area.
Ducting Options
CFM reduction kit
If required or desired this hood is to be used only in conjunction
with CFM reduction kit model KIT02748.
Consult your HVAC professional and local building codes for
specific requirements in your area.
Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual.
All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages
or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this
manual, is declined.
This hood is factory set for venting through the roof (vertical
discharge) or wall (horizontal discharge). A 6”
(15.24 mm)
round
duct system is needed for installation (not included).
NOTE:
Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce perfor-
mance. Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the out-
side, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) ver-
sion, using the recirculating kit . Fumes and vapors are recycled
through the round grid. See optional accesories section.
Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or
stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the mate-
rials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance with-
in the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference.
The lower the hood is above the cooktop, the more efficient the
capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke.
