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 wiring.
(DUCTED AND NON-DUCTED HOODS)

1. Plan where the hood will be located above the cook top.
2. Run electrical cable, 2-wire plus ground, to the hood location as shown.
3. Flues conceal the cable. Make sure cable exits the wall within dimensions shown

and long enough to reach the hood. Fig. 5.

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 finished, secure mounting bracket to framing using dimen-

sions shown.

Note a - Minimum hood distance above cook top must not be less than 24”.

A maximum 30” above cook top is highly recommended for best capture of cooking

impurities.

Distances over 30” are at the installers discretion; and if ceiling height and flue length

permit.

Note b - a 10-foot high ceiling requires use of an optional flue extension FXWC50EC,

available from your local dealer.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

(DUCTED HOODS ONLY)

!

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.
