ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
This hood must be power supplied from 110-120 V, 60 Hz source and connected to an
individual, properly grounded circuit (3-prong outlet).
If the electrical supply does not meet above requirements, call a licensed electrician
before proceeding.
Route house wiring as close as possible
to the installation location, in the ceiling or back
wall.
The hood must be connected to the house wiring in accordance with the local codes and
norms.
WALL FRAMING FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORT
This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structure and support must be provided in all types of
installations. If mounting on dry wall, the hood must be secure to vertical studs in the wall or to a
horizontal support.
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
For indoor use only.
For household use only. This hood is not to be used to exhaust explosive or dangerous
fumes or materials
.
For safety and for optimum performance, the vent hood must be installed at a minimum of 28”
above an electric cooking surface and a minimum of 30” above a gas cooking surface (if the
instructions for installation of the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into
account).
The exhaust air must not be discharged into a chimney which is used for exhausting fumes from
other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.
Determine the exact location of the vent hood. Mark the
location. Find the centerline of the cooktop. Use a level
to draw a vertical straight pencil line on the wall.
Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. Use
The shortest and straightest duct route possible. Make
sure the first duct runs is at least 12’’ before redirecting.
Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the
performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible.
Larger ducting may be required for longer duct runs.
Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the exterior
opening / wall. Join the wall or roof cap to the ductwork.
Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards
the hood location. Use 2" metal foil duct tape to seal the joints.
