Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specied on the model/serial/rating plate. The
model/serial/rating plate is located inside the range hood on
the left wall.
■Range hood location should be away from strong draft areas,
such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents.
■Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Consult the
cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions before
making any cutouts.
■This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops with
a maximum total rating of 55,000 BTUs or less.
■Grounded electrical outlet is required. See the “Electrical
Requirements” section.
■All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be
installed must be sealed.
■These range hoods are factory set for vented installations.
Models that are capable of being installed as non-vented
(recirculating) require charcoal lters. See the “Accessories”
section to order charcoal lter kit.
For Mobile Home Installations
The installation of this range hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24
CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such
standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home
Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and
Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, or latest edition, or with local
codes.

Venting Requirements
■This range hood is factory set to exhaust the air to
the outside through the wall or the roof. A non-vented
(recirculating) installation will require a Charcoal Filter Kit.
See the “Accessories” section for ordering information.
■Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for
nonvented (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.
■Use a 7" (17.8 cm) round metal vent or a
3¹⁄4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent,
depending on your installation requirements. 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 efcient performance.
For the most efcient 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 or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
■The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has
a damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.
■Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around
the cap.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air ow and a thermal break should be installed
to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
vent system. The damper 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 greater than specied CFM of
air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your
area.
Venting Methods
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use
3¹⁄4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent
length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 7" (17.8 cm) or larger round vent with
a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
both back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
performance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
NOTE: It is recommended that the vent system be installed
before hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
1. Disconnect “power.”
2. Depending on your model, determine which venting method
to use: roof, wall, or non-vented (recirculating).
3. Select a at surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Lift the range hood and set it upside down onto covered
surface.
Determine Wiring Hole Location
Cut only one 1¹⁄4" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole.
1. Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall
and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.
A. Centerline
To wire through top:
1. Mark a line distance “A” from the right of the centerline
on the underside of the cabinet. For 12" (30.5 cm) deep
cabinets, mark the "int on this line that is 2" (5.1 cm) from the
back wall. For 15" (38.1 cm) deep cabinets, mark the point
on this line that is 5" (12.7 cm) from the back wall. Drill a
1¼" (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the cabinet at this point.
To wire through wall:
1. Mark a line distance “A” from the right of the centerline on
the underside of the wall. Mark the point on this line that is
7/8" (2.2 cm) from the underside of the cabinet. Drill a
1¹⁄4" (3.2 cm) diameter hole through the rear wall at this point.

Install Range Hood
1. Remove the power supply knockout from the top or rear of
the vent hood (depending on the incoming location of your
home power supply cable) and install a UL Listed or CSA
Approved 1/2" strain relief.
A. Power supply knockout
2. Align the exterior edge of the mounting brackets with the
exterior edges of the upper cabinet.
IMPORTANT: The brackets should touch the upper cabinet.
With a pencil, mark the upper holes on the brackets.
3. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, install the drywall anchors.
Using #8-18 x 1" (4.2 x 25 mm) at-head #2 Phillips screws,
install the mounting brackets using the upper holes.
NOTE: For installation to a surface other than drywall, it
is recommended that a qualied contractor determine the
anchoring method.
4. Lift the range hood into place and insert the mounting
bracket tabs through the slots in the back of the range hood.
5. From the inside of the range hood, start a
#8-18 x 5/8" (4.2 x 16 mm) truss-head screw into the
mounting tab (A) on each side of the range hood as shown
in the following inset. Insert the screws approximately 2
turns into the mounting tab holes. Bend each mounting tab
upward approximately 45°.
6. Lift the range hood into place, positioning the rear slots over
the mounting brackets.
7. Using a Phillips screwdriver, push on the screws that are
started into the top mounting tabs and bend the tabs against
the cabinet side walls. Attach the screws to the cabinet side
walls.
8. For direct wire installations, run the home power supply
cable according to the National Electric Code or CSA
standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be
enough wiring from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker)
box to make the connection in the range hood electrical
terminal box.
9. Tighten the strain relief screws.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until the installation is
complete.
OPTIONAL: If you prefer, bend the rear tabs against the rear
of the range hood and attach to the wall using
#8-18 x 5/8" (4.2 x 16 mm) truss-head screws.
