IMPORTANT Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is the installers responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located inside the range hood on the left side (See page 2 for location). 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.

Grounded electrical outlet is required. See Electrical Requirements section.

All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy hood will be installed must be sealed.

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 stan- dard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manu- factured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, or latest edition, or with local codes.

Vent system must terminate to the outdoors. Do not terminate the vent system into an attic or other

enclosed area. Do not use a 4 (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap. Use a 3 x 10 (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 7 (17.8

cm) round metal vent. 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 or duct tape to seal all joints in the

vent system. The vent system at exit must have a cold air damper. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening

around the cap. Best performances are reached with straight piping,

without elbows and using smooth pipe. Maximum recomended vent system length: 35 ft (10.7m).

Cold Weather Installations An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside tem- peratures 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 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 Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3 x 10 (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 7 (17.8 cm) 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.

Calculating Vent System Length To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system. (1.8 cm) Round Vent System
