■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit
is required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate.
The model/serial plate is located behind the filter on the rear
wall of the range hood.
■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or
CSA Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1

Before installing the hood

1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run
or as few elbows as possible.
CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2. At least two people are necessary for installation.
3. Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most
types of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer, check
if they perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.
4. Do not use flex ducting.
5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional
backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air
flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize
conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of
the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the
ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
6. Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of
Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation
Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement.
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult
your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your
area.
