IMPORTANT!
• If long duct run is needed, increase the duct size
from 6" to 7" or 8" to 9".
• If a reducer is needed, use a long reducer instead of
a pancake reducer and install it as far away from the
range hood as possible. Reducing the duct size will
restrict and decrease the speed of the airflow and
hense lower the range hood's performance.
• If transitions or turns are needed, install them as far
away from the range hood as possible and keep the
distance between the 2 as far apart as possible.
• The minimum mounting height should be no less
than 24" and the maximum mounting height should
be no more than 30".
• Also refer to the owner's manual of the stove
top for the height clearance requirement and the
recommended mounting height above the range.
Note
• It is important to install the range hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result
in heat damage and fire hazard while hoods mounted
too high will be out of reach and hense reduce its
performance and efficiency.
Minimum Duct Size:
• Round: 6" minimum.
• Rectangular: 3-1/4" x 10" minimum.
IMPORTANT!
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer's responsibility:
• To contact a qualified electrical installer;
• To ensure that the electrical installation is in
compliance with applicable codes and standards.
Electrical Requirements:
• A 120V, 60Hz., AC only, 15A fused electrical circuit is
required.
• Wire sizes and connections must conform with the
power rating of the range hood and all applicable
codes and standards.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
• The 3-prong outlet should be grounded. If the
power cord plug is not used, the power cord’s green
wire should be connected to ground. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are not sure that the
range hood is properly grounded.
• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
• The range hood must be connected with copper
wire/plug only.
• The range hood should be connected directly to the
fused disconnect box (or circuit breaker) through
flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper
cable. ETL listed strain relief must be provided at
each end of the power supply cable.
