•Always consult local and national electric codes. Check local building codes for installation requirements, as they may vary per locale.

•Makeup air systems may be required by local building codes when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. Specified CFM varies per locale.

•Connect vent hood with copper wire only. (For installation pre-wired with aluminum wiring, refer to Product Installation Guide on web for correct wiring procedure.)

•Locate vent hood away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors or strong heating vents.

•Minimum 18" - 24" installation height allowed from bottom of hood canopy to cooking surface; minimum 66" height suggested from top of hood to floor.

•When installing vent hood under cabinets with recessed bottoms, two 2"-wide filler strips required with length and thickness determined by recess dimensions.

Ducting Option Specifications

•Vent system MUST terminate outside through roof or wall; do NOT terminate into attic or other enclosed area.

•Exhaust Duct Required – 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular with 35' maximum vent length or 7" round with 50' maximum vent length. Refer

to Product Installation Guide on web for calculations needed to determine total duct length.

•Installation of 7" Round Duct requires use of optional 7" Round Transition Duct (PN # 5304487139) and can only be vented vertically.

•To provide efficient performance, length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to minimum. Flexible vent greatly reduces performance and is NOT recommended.

•Use 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular metal vent only – rigid metal vent recommended; plastic or metal foil vent NOT recommended.

•For cold weather installation, additional backdraft damper and thermal break should be installed. Thermal break will minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system with damper on cold air side of break, as close as possible to where vent system enters heated portion of house.
