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
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate.
•
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
•
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range
hood is properly grounded.
•
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
IMPORTANT
•
Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector's use.
•
The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
•
The range hood should be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (Or circuit breaker) box through metal
electrical conduit.
•
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

and ordinances.
•
If provided with an electrical plug, connect the hood to a
receptacle that complies with current regulations and placed
in an accessible position. Where an electrical plug is not provided
(direct connection to electrical network) or the plug will not
be in an accessible position after installation, place an approved
bipolar switch in accessible position that provides full disconnection
under overvoltage category III conditions, in accordance with
local wiring rules.
•
A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply conduit (at the
range hood and at the junction box).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance 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 appliance 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.
WARNING:
I
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock.
a) Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
b) Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
c) In case of partial or total damage to your power cord, do not at-
tempt to repair it, go to the service center indicated in your warranty
or to a specialized technician for replacement.
Use only with rangehood cord-connection kits that have been inves-
tigated and found acceptable for use with this model rangehood.
a) 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.
b) Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw
rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furni-
ture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where
it will not be tripped over.
BEFORE INSTALLING THE HOOD
1
For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as
few elbows as possible.
CAUTION
I
: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2
At least two people are necessary for installation.
3
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types
of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer, check if they
perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall. Do not use flex ducting.
4
COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional
backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air
flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize
conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of
the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the
ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
5
Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of
Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation
Systems 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.
