BEFORE INSTALLING THE HOOD
▪
For the most efficient airflow exhaust use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
▪
Vent unit to the outside only.
▪
At least two people are required for installation.
▪
Remove the range hood from the carton packaging and place on a flat surface for assembly.
CAUTION:
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
▪
This hood must be power supplied 120 V, 60 Hz, 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 SUPPPORT MUST BE PROVIDED IN ALL TYPESOF
INSTALLATIONS. THE HOOD MUST BE SECURED TO A HORIZONTAL SUPPORT.
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
▪
The exhaust air must not be discharged into a chimney which is used for exhausting fumes from other
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
▪
Determine the exact location of the vent hood. Mark the location. Find the centerline of the cooktop.
▪
Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.
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. 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.
