Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer's responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
— latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.0-M91 - latest edition** and
all local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recom-
mended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground
path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is
required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:
1.
Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2.
Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed
and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local
codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate.
The model/serial plate is located behind the filter on the rear
wall of the range hood.
■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA
Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition and all local codes and
ordinances.
Venting Requirements
(ducted models only)
•
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for non
vented (recirculating) installations.
•
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
•
Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
•
Use metal vent only. 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. If the roof or wall cap
has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range
hood.
•
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
•
The size of the vent should be uniform.
Venting Methods
This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or
wall. A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation
(not included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce perfor-
mance. Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
Rear discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating)
version, fitting a charcoal filter and the deflector. Fumes and
vapors are recycled through the top grille.
