INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
!
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the
hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best
performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sec-
tions.
INSTALL ELECTRICAL
WARNING: Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accor-
dance with all applicable codes and standards. This range hood must be
properly grounded. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wir-
ing.
1. Plan where the hood will be located above the cook top. Refer to the "INSTALL
MOUNTING BRACKET" section for hood mounting height options.
2. Install a standard 2" x 4" wall outlet box and 3-blade 125 volt, 15Amp grounded
receptacle.
3. Mount the receptacle 18" to 22" above the bottom of the hood.
4. Locate the receptacle within boundary shown and off center of the ductwork (to
allow for power cord plug and flue clearance).
INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKET
(DUCTED AND NON-DUCTED HOODS)
1. Construct wood wall framing that is flush with interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a) the framing is centered over installation location.
b) the height of the framing will allow the mounting bracket to be secured to
the framing within the dimensions shown.
2. After wall surface is installed, secure the mounting bracket to framing with (2)
4.8x38mm mounting screws. See chart below for mounting bracket location.

NOTE : Minimum hood distance above cook top must not be less than 24". A maximum of 30"
above cook top is highly recommended for best capture of cooking impurities. Distances over 30"
are at the installer and user's discretion; and if ceiling height and flue lenght permit.
