THE FOLLOWING:
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done
by qualified person(s)in accordance with oil ap-
plicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back-drafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's
guidelines and safety standards, such as those
published by the Notional Fire Protection Associa-
tion (NFPA),the American Society for Heating, Re-
frigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
and the local code authorities.
• When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted systems must always be vented to the out-
doors.
• Local codesvary. Installation ofelectrical connections
and grounding must comply with applicable codes.
In the absence of local codes, the vent should be in-
stalled in accordance with National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA70-1990 or latest edition.

This hood may be installed to vent to the outdoors,
or installed for recirculating operation. All necessary
parts for recirculating operation are supplied with
the hood. No kits required.
This vent hood can be installed over any 30" electric or
gas cooktop including Honogram Professional cooktops
or ranges less than 36".
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS AND
CLEARANCES
The vent hood must be installed 24" minimum and
36" maximum above the cooking surface.
NOTE: Installation height should be measured from
the cooking surface to the lowest part of the hood.
The ductwork running from the top of the hood can
be concealed in the soffit and/or upper cabinet. NO
duct cover accessories are provided or required.

Advance Planning
DUCTWORK PLANNING FOR VENTED
NODE
• This vent hood is designed to be installed beneath a
cabinet or beneath a cabinet mounted to a soffit.
• This hood is designed for 8" round ducting. The
8" round duct can transition to 3-1/4" x 10" or
3-1/4" x 12".
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors
considering any transitions you may require.
• Use locally supplied ducting to vent horizontally
through the rear wall or vertically through the
ceiling.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run
should not exceed 100' equivalent length for any
duct configurations.
• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct runs to
the outdoors.
• Install a wall or roof cap with damper at the exte-
rior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any
transition and length of duct needed in advance
from a local hardware store.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Wall or ceiling duct must be projected out at least
r' for duct connection.
WARNING: TOREOUCET.ERISKOF
FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
• For better air flow results, use rigid metal ductwork.
DUCTWORK PLANNING FOR
RECIRCULATION NODE
Allparts are included to install in recirculation mode.
MOUNTING FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORT
• The hood must be secured to vertical studs in the
wall. See the Wall or Ceiling and Cabinet Preparation
section for vented or recirculutiong installation.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood be on
-site to accurately locate the ductwork and electri-
cal service.
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is in-
stalled before the cooktop and countertop are
installed.
IMPORTANT: The vent hood must be secured
to the cabinet and at least two wall studs and
dry wall with anchors. The cabinet must be ca-
pable of supporting :100 Ibs.

Installation Preparation
DUCT FITTINGS
Use this chart to compute maxi-
mum permissible lengths
for duct runs to outdoors.
NOTE: Do not exceed maximum
permissible equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length:
100 foot for range hoods.
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting is used,
all the equivalent feet values in
the table should be doubled.
The flexible metal duct should
be straight and smooth and ex-
tended us much us possible.
DO NOT use flexible plastic
ducting.
NOTE:Any home ventilation
system, such as aventilation
hood, may interrupt the proper
flow of combustion air and
exhaust required by fireplaces,
gas furnaces, gas water heat-
ers and other naturally vented
systems.
To minimize the chance of
interruption of such naturally
vented systems, follow the heat-
ing equipment manufacturer's
guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by
NFPA and ASHRAE.

-AWARNING:
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with
this appliance. Follow National Electrical Code or
prevailing local codes and ordinances.
Electrical supply
This vent hood must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz,
and connected to an individual, properly grounded
brunch circuit, and protected by u 15- or 20-amp
circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
• Wiring must be 2-wire with ground.
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, cull u licensed electrician before
proceeding.
• Route house wiring us close to the installation
locution us possible. Wiring can enter from the
ceiling or rear wall. Route additional length from
the ceiling or wall to reach the junction box.
• Connect the wiring to the house wiring in uccor-
dunce with local codes.
Grounding instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to
u ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
WARNING: The improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if you are in
doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

use the following formula to solve for X:
X=C-(A+B+R+Y+Z) where
A = Cooking surface to the floor

C = Ceiling height
R= Riser height (must be used with recirculation
mode, optional for vent mode)
Y = Cabinet height
