Wall-Mount Range Hood Installation Instructions
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
Important
: Save this Installation Guide for electrical inspector’s use.
The range hood must be connected with copper wire/plug only.
The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored
or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. A U.L. or C.S.A. listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power
supply cable.
Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the
model/serial rating label. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code.
BEFORE INSTALLING
Be familiar with the controls of the range hood by reading through the “Range Hood Operations” section.
Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect the range hood to a designated standard outlet (please refer
to the product label for the suitable voltage of this unit) and turn on the range hood. Verify all operations of the range
hood by referring to “Range Hood Operations”.
Place all supplied parts and required hardware on a flat, stable surface.
Carefully remove the plastic protective coat from the chimney covers and range hood.
To avoid damage to your hood, prevent debris from entering the vent opening.
Preparations
:
1. Determine and mark the center line on the ceiling where the range hood will be installed. Make sure there is
proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
2. Due to the weight and size of this unit, please make sure that the support system or framework being used is
stable and secure in the wall.
3. Put a thick, protective covering over counter-top, cook top or range to protect from damage or dirt. Remove any
hazardous objects around the area when installing.
4. Mark the locations of the support mounting bracket holes, vent cutout (if used) and power supply cable cutout on
the ceiling. Use drill and saber saw or keyhole saw to cut openings for power supply cable and vent.
5. If venting to the outside, install vent system. Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof openings.
6 Disconnect the main electrical supply, prepare and run electrical wiring through the ceiling or wall. Leave
approximately 12" of electrical cord hanging from the ceiling. Do not restore power until wiring is complete.
7. Disconnect the power cord, remove the aluminum filter by pressing on the latch toward the direction of the solid
arrow while holding the metal handle, gently pull the aluminum filter toward the direction of the dashed arrow.
