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.

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

If venting to the outside, vent system must 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.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range hood.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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 hood. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all hood parts and

hardware on it.

2. Tip the hood on its back and remove the filters and set aside. To remove filters:

Note: Use two hands to remove filters, one to pull and turn the knob, the other to hold the filter so that it doesn't fall.

•Pull knob forward (toward the front of the hood) while turning the knob to the left (counter-clockwise) to release the locking lever.

•Slide filter down and away from front retaining channel.

3. Determine and mark a vertical centerline on the wall where the canopy hood will be installed.

If vent system is already installed, use centerline of vent opening.

4. Based on the ceiling or soffit

height and personal preference, determine the distance “X” needed between the cooking surface and the bottom of the hood. To this distance, add 15-1/8" (34.8 cm) and draw a horizontal line about 24" (61.0 cm) centered on the vertical centerline at this distance.

5. Mark two points on each side of the horizontal line 4-9/16" (11.6 cm) from the vertical centerline.

•If installing into wood, drill two 1/8" (3.2 mm) pilot holes.

•If installing into drywall, drill two 1/4" (6.4 mm) holes and insert wall anchors flush with the wall.

1/4" (6.4 mm)

6. Install two No. 10 Phillips head wood screws. Leave a 1/4” (6.4 mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw head.
