Electrical requirements

Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is the customer’s responsibility:

•To contact a qualified electrical installer.

•To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

— latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, fused electrical system is required on a

separate 15-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range hood is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

IMPORTANT:

Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector’s use.

The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.

The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable. Wire sizes

(COPPER WIRE ONLY) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate.

Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.

A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range hood and at the junction box).

Installation steps

Preparation

It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.

Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

Check that all the installation parts and the box with filters have been removed from the shipping carton.

1.If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all hood parts and hardware in it.

2.Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the hood will be installed. If the vent system is already installed, use centerline of vent opening.

3.If venting horizontally out the back of hood and vent system is not installed, mark and cut vent opening now.

4.Important: If used, Backsplash Kit must be installed before installing the hood.

If a backsplash is not used, go to Step 5.

Backsplash installation: (The hardware package supplied with the kit includes 4 plastic wall anchors and mounting screws.)

•The height of the backsplash will determine the height

29-7/8" (75.9 cm)

top of backsplash 35-7/8" (91.1 cm) 41-7/8" (106.4 cm)

47-7/8" (121.6 cm)

corner mounting

hole (4)

Extends from

19-23/32" (50.1 cm)

to 39" (99.1 cm)

3/8" (9.5 mm)

1" (25.4 mm)

of the hood. Note: The minimum height of the hood above the cooktop, as shown on Page 3, is 30"

(76.2 cm). The backsplash can be extended from

19-23/32" (50.1 cm) to 39" (99.1 cm). Note: As the 30" (76.2 cm) installation height increases, the hood's capture area decreases.

•Determine the height of the hood.

•Position the hood on the wall so that the top of the backsplash is at the height of the bottom edge of hood. Mark the location of the four corner holes. It is recommended that the backsplash be attached to the wall at all four corners. However, the lower flange can be secured between the wall and backsplash, countertop or cabinet base without using the bottom corner screws.

•Drill 5/16" (8 mm) holes.

•Push the plastic wall anchors all the way into the holes.

•Position the holes in the backsplash over the wall

anchors and attach using the screws supplied. 5
