ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
• A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
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.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a
wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
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, fitting a charcoal filter and
the deflector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille.

Example vent system
The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent
length of 35 ft (10.7 m).
