ELECTRIC
REQUIREMENTS
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
support
must
be
provided
in
all
types
of
installations.
If
mounting
on
dry
wall,
the
hood
must
be
secured
to
vertical
studs
in
the
wall
or
to
a
horizontal
support.
PREPARING
THE
INSTALLATION
For
safety
and
optimum
performance,
the
vent
hood
must
be
installed
above
the
cooking
surface
at
a
minimum
of
26”
above
an
electric
range
and
of
30”
above
a
gas
cooking
range
(unless
the
instructions
for
installation
of
the
gas
hob
specify
a
greater
distance,
which
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
burning
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.
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.
