VENTING REQUIREMENTS

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through the wall or the roof.

The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.

Flexible ductwork is not recommended. If it is used, each foot of flexible ductwork used is equivalent to two feet of straight metal ductwork when calculating the ductrun length. Thus, a flexible elbow equals two standard elbows.

Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. 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. For best results, remote blowers should transition to 10" round duct as soon as possible. If small ducting is used, it should be transitioned to 9 or 10" round as soon as possible.

WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.

!WARNING

Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.

DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.

DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.

Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 15 amp fused circuit. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse must be sized per local codes in accordance with the electrical rating of this unit as specified on the serial/rating plate located inside the unit near the field wiring compartment. THIS UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances. Wire size and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance. Copies of the standard listed above may be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269

For residential use only.

This appliance should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. Allow some slack in the cable so the appliance can be moved if servicing is ever nec- essary. A UL Listed, 1/2" conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box).

When making the electrical connection, cut a 1 1/4" hole in the wall. A hole cut through wood must be sanded until smooth. A hole through metal must have a grommet.

SUITABLE FOR USE WITH SOLID STATE SPEED CONTROLS.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any ques- tions, contact the manufacturer.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

WARNING -TO REDUCETHE RISK OF SHOCK:This fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.

CAUTION: For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous or Explosive Materials and Vapors.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Installation Work And Electrical Wiring Must Be Done By Qualified Person(s) In Accordance With All Applicable Codes And Standards, Including Fire-Rated Construction.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Followtheheatingequipmentmanufacturer'sguideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heat- ing, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

!WARNING

Electrical ground is required on this rangehood.

If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, nonmetallic gaskets or other materials, DO NOT use for grounding.

DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.

DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in electrical shock.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the rangehood is properly grounded.

Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.
