• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to
exhaust hazardous or explosive materials or vapors.
• Structural framing, installation work and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified person(s)in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards
including fire-rated construction.
• Sufiqcient 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
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
• Local codes vary. Installation electrical connections
and grounding must comply with applicable codes.
In the absence of local codes, the vent should be
installed in accordance with National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 or latest edition.
CAUTION: TOreduceriskoffireandto

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
ZXl4SDSS, optionol stoinless steel duct cover is (]vc]ilc]ble
for ceiling heights greater than 10 ft. and up to 14 ft.
Order the optional duct cover at the same time as the
vent hood and have on site before installation. This kit
contains hardware required for instc]llation. This kit con-
tains instc]llation hardwore.
Note: Duct covers must be installed (is shown in this
book. Do not "build-in" the duct cover. If service is
required, the duct cover must be removed to access
hood components.

Installation Preparation
ADVANCE PLANNING
Ductwork Planning
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
• 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.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside-Do not vent ex-
haust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawl spaces or garages.

• Use metal ductwork. These hoods must use 8" round
duct. It can transition to 3-1/4" x 12", reducing the maxi-
mum equivalent duct length to 75 feet.
• Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the exterior
opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any transition
needed in advance.
Wall Framing far Adequate Support
• This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural support
must be provided. The hood must be secured to vertical
studs in the wall, or to a horizontal support. See page 9.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood with duct
cover be on site before final framing and wall finishing.
This will also help to accurately locate the ductwork and
electrical service.

Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this ap-
pliance. Follow National Electrical Code or prevailing local
codes and ordinances.
Electrical supply
This vent hood must be supplied with 120V,60Hz,and con-
nected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
and protected by a 15or 20 amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above require-
ments, call a licensed electrician before proceeding.
• Route house wiring as close to the installation location
as possible in the ceiling or saint. Wiring should enter at
least 4" above the bracket on the right side.
• Connect the wiring to the house wiring in accordance
with local codes.
Grounding instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to a ground
metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
WARNING:Theimproper connectionofthe
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.

Installation Preparation
DUCT FITTINGS
Use this chart to compute maximum
permissible lengths for duct runs to
outdoors.
Note: Do not exceed maximum permissible
equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length:
100 ft. for range hoods.
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting isused, all
the equivalent feet values in the table
should be doubled. Theflexible metal
duct should be straight and smooth and
extended us much us possible.
Do NOT use flexible plastic ducting.
Note: Any home ventilation system, such as a
ventilation hood, may interrupt the proper flow
of combustion air and exhaust required by fire-
places, gas furnaces, gas water heaters and other
naturally vented systems. To minimize the chance
of interruption of such naturally vented systems,
follow the heating equipment manufacturer's
guidelines and safety standards such asthose
published by NFPAand ASHRAE.

Ceiling ducting:
If ductwork will vent straight up to the ceiling:
• Use a level to draw a line straight up, from the
centerline on the template to the ceiling.
• IVleasure6-1/4" from the back wall to the centerline of
a 8-1/2" hole on the ceiling.

Wall Ducting:
If ductwork will vent to the rear:
• Use the levelto draw a line straight up from the
centerline on the template.
• IVleasureat least 8" above the top mounting bracket
holes shown on the template to the centerline of an
8-1/2" dia. duct hole. (Hole may be elongated for duct
elbow.)
HOUSE WIRING LOCATION:
• The junction box is located on the top of the hood, at
the back right side.
• Route house wiring as close to the ceiling location as
possible, through the ceiling, sofiqt or back wall. Wiring
