INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Electrical requirements
WARNING!
●
●
Electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards.
●
●
This unit must be grounded/earthed.
●
●
This range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
●
●
A 120 volt, 60Hz AC-only electrical supply is required on a dedicated 15A branch circuit.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
●
●
Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
●
●
Wire size and connections must conform to the rating of this appliance.
●
●
This appliance should be connected directly to the fuse disconnect (or circuit breaker)
through flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. Allow some slack in the
cable so the appliance can be moved if servicing is required.
●
●
A cULus listed strain relief or 1/2” (12.7mm) conduit connector must be provided at each
end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box).
WARNING!
●
●
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed
control device.
Make-up air (not included)
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled. Local building codes may require the use of make-up
air systems when using ducted ventilation systems greater than specified cubic feet per
minute (CFM) of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. It is the
responsibility of the owner and the installer to determine if additional requirements and/or
standards apply to specific installations.
Venting requirements
IMPORTANT!
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
●
●
The range hood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from
the kitchen or with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
●
●
Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible, for optimal efficiency.
Elbows and transitions increase noise and reduce air flow efficiency.
●
●
For best results:
– In ducted installations with internal blowers, use 8” (203mm) or 10” (254mm)
round ducting.
– For inline blowers use 10” (254mm) round ducting.
Vent through roof
Vent through exterior wall
Recirculate with carbon filters
Compatible blowers with this range hood
This range hood may only be used with:
●
●
The provided internal blowers (for HPB30/36/48 range hood models) and/or
●
●
Fisher and Paykel approved Inline blowers which can be purchased separately
(for HP30/36/48 range hood models).
To minimize noise in the kitchen, these blowers are mounted along the duct line
anywhere between the kitchen and the exterior wall.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this range hood only with remote
blower models rated maximum 4.8A or integral blowers supplied with the range hood.
