Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper non return valve should be
installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal
break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside
temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper non
return valve 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 with greater than
specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies
from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in
your area.
Venting methods
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof
or through the wall. You can apply the recirculating venting
method by purchasing the Recirculation Kit.
The vent system needed for installation is not included.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is recommended.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• This range hood must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current.
• This range hood is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard
fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination
and/or repair.
WARNING: Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the range hood is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the range hood.
