INSTALL ELECTRICAL
WARNING: Electrical wiring must be
done by a qualified person(s) in accor-
dance with all applicable codes and stan-
dards. This range hood must be prop-
erly grounded. Turn off electrical power
at service entrance before wiring.
1. Plan where the hood will be located above
the cook top. Refer to the “INSTALL MOUNT-
ING BRACKET” section for hood mounting
height options.
2. Install a standard 2” x 4” wall outlet box and
3-blade 125 volt, 15Amp grounded recep-
tacle.
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 THE DUCTWORK
(DUCTED HOODS ONLY)
!
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use
only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run be-
tween 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 be-
tween ductwork sections.
