appliance.
l lf cold water pipe is interrupted by
plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other
insulating materials, Do Not use for
grounding.
l Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l Do Not modify the power supply cord
plug. If it does not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
l Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral
or grounding circuit could result in an
electrical shock.
. Do Not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
l Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
Electrical Shock Hazard
It is the customer’s responsibility:
l To contact a qualified electrical
installer.
. To assure that the electrical installation
is adequate and in conformance with
National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA
70 - latest edition*, and all local codes
and ordinances.
Failure to do so could result in fire,
electrical shock or other personal injury.
Care must be taken when drilling
holes into wall. Electrical wires may
be concealed behind the wall
covering.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
Personal Injury Hazard
Reaching over a heated cooking
surface should be avoided. To
reduce the hazard of being burned,
the range hood should extend a
minimum of 5 inches out from the
bottom of the cabinet.
Reaching over a heated cooking surface
could result in a serious burn.
A
A 115volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, fused
n electrical supply isrequired. The
total ampere load used, including the
range hood, must not exceed 90% of the
rated capacity of the circuit. The ampere
rating of the range hood islocated on the
serial/rating plate located on the underside
of the range hood.
B
It isthe personal responsibility and
n obliaation of the customer to
contact a qualified electrician to assure
that the electrical installation isadequate
and in conformance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest
edition* and all local codes and
ordinances.
C
The range hood must be
n connected with copper wire only.
D
The range hood should be
n connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through
flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed
copper cable. A U.L.-listed strain relief must
be provided at each end of the power
supply cable. Wire sizes(COPPER WIRE

Property Damage
Slide cardboard or hardboard under
range before moving range across floor.
Failure to do so could cause damage to
floor covering.
Cover countertop, cooktop or set-in
range with a thick, protective covering.
Failure to do so may result in property
damage.
Fire Hazard
l Terminate venting system to outside.
l Do Not terminate the vent in an attic or
other enclosed space.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in a fire.
Recommended ductwork length
Use 3-l/4” x 10” or 7” ductwork with a
maximum length of 26 feet for ductwork
system. For best performance, use no more
than three 90” elbows. To calculate the
length of system you need, add the
equivalent feet for each ductwork piece
used in the system. See the following
examples.
Ductwork needed for installation is not
included. Wall or roof caps used mulst have
backdraff damper.
Determine which outside venting method
needs to be used. NOTE: If a non-vented
(recirculating) installation isdesired, follow
instructions on Panel D.
The length of the ductwork and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimurn to
provide efficient performance. The size of
the ductwork should be uniform. Do Not
install two elbows together. Use duct tape
to seal all joints in the ductwork system.
Ductwork can terminate either through the
roof or wall. Use caulking to seal exterior
wall or roof opening around exhaust hood.
For the most efficient and quiet operation, it
is recommended that the range be vented
vertically through the roof through 7” round
ductwork.
Figures l-4 show common venting methods
and what types of materials are needed.
1
Disconnect and move freestanding
n range from cabinet opening to
provide easier access to upper cabinet and
rear wall. Put a thick, protective covering
over cooktop, set-in range or countertop to
protect from damage or dirt.
2
Determine which venting method
H (roof or wall venting or non-venting)
you need to use. Thisrange hood isshipped
for non-vented installation.
If non-venting (recirculating) installation is
desired, follow instructions on Panel D.

To vent through the roof with 7” round
ductwork, mark 4- l/2” and 5” in from back
wall along the centerline on underside of
cabinet. Use these points as centers to
draw 7-l/8” circles on underside of cabinet.
Use a saber saw to cut the openings for the
ductwork. Repeat for the underside of the
top of the cabinet. Thiswill create slotted
openings.
To vent through the roof with 3- l/4” x 10”
rectangular ductwork, mark a line 1”and 5”
from the back wall on the underside of the

Use a saber saw to cut a rectangular
opening for the ductwork. Repeat for the
underside of the top of the cabinet.
To vent through wall with 3- l/4” x 10”
rectangular ductwork, measure from floor
65-7/a” and 62-3/a” (or l/8” and 3-5/a” down
from underside of cabinet) and mark on
back wall. Measure and mark a line 5- l/4”
to right and left of centerline, connecting
the two lines. Use a saber saw to cut a
rectangular opening for the ductwork.
ii.
Install ductwork through the vent opening in
upper cabinet or wall. Complete venting
system according to method needed. See
“Venting requirements. II Use caulking to
seal exterior wall or roof opening.
Attach rectangular damper to selected
rectangular vent opening. If damper is
attached to back of range hood, be sure
damper hinge istoward the top. For round
vented installations, use round damper in
duct to prevent air from flowing back into
ductwork. If roof cap has a damper,
remove damper blade from range hood.
