INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
DUCTED HOODS ONLY
NOTE: 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 to-
wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.

WARNING : Electrical wiring must be
done by a qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and
standards. This range hood must be
properly grounded. Turn off electrical
power at service entrance before wiring.
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 - 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 appliance 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 appliance.
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. Run 2-wire plus ground power cable to a standard 2” x 4” wall outlet box and 3-
blade, 125 volt, 15 Amp grounded receptacle. Fig. 6.
3. Mount the receptacle 17” to 19” above the bottom of the hood.
4. Locate the box and the receptacle within boundary shown and off center of the
ductwork (to allow for power cord plug and flue clearance).
