•
A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical
circuit is required� A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
also recommended� It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this range hood be provided�
•
This range hood is equipped with a power supply cord
having a 3 prong grounding plug�
•
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded
in accordance with local codes and ordinances� If a mating
outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded
Venting Requirements
•
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for no
vented (recirculating) installations�
•
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
enclosed area�
•
Do not use a 4" (10�2 cm) laundry-type wall cap�
•
Rigid metal vent is recommended� Plastic or metal foil
vent is not recommended� The length of vent system and
number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide
efficient performance�
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
•
Use no more than three 90° elbows�
•
Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight
vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used�
•
Do not install 2 elbows together�
•
Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system�
•
The vent system must have a damper�
•
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around
the cap�
•
The size of the vent should be uniform�
4
outlet installed by a qualified electrician�
•
The grounded 3 prong outlet is to be located inside the
cabinet above the range hood at a maximum distance of
35 7/16 (90 cm)
from where the power cord exits the hood�
The grounded 3 prong outlet must be accessible after
installation of the range hood� See illustration:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• This range hood must be grounded� In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current�
• This range hood is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug� The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded�
WARNING: Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock�
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the range hood is properly grounded�
Do not use an extension cord� If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the range hood�
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper non return valve should be
installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal
break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside
temperatures as part of the vent system� The damper non
return valve should be on the cold air side of the thermal
break�
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house�
Makeup air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air
systems when using ventilation systems with 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�
