■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.
■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.
■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
■A ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) UL listed or CSA approved strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range hood and at the junction box).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Venting Options
General venting installation
For vented installations:
Make necessary cuts in the wall for vent fittings.
NOTE: The hood exhaust may be directed out the rear of the hood by removing the motor assembly and rotating it so the exhaust collar is located on the rear of the hood. If this is desired, see “Change Hood to Rear Exhaust” section to change the exhaust direction.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the vent system is installed before installing range hood.
For recirculating installations:
A vent system and vent grill (not provided) that directs the recirculated air back into the room either through the soffit or through the cabinet top is required. Use Recirculation Kit Part Number 4396565. For ordering information, see “Assistance or Service.”
IMPORTANT: If venting through the cabinet top, do not terminate the exhaust into dead air space such as an attic or enclosed soffit.
When venting through the soffit, assemble the vent system (not provided) you will use over the exhaust collar, but do not attach the vent system yet.
NOTE: The vent system can exhaust out the front of the soffit or be rotated to exhaust out the side or end of the soffit.
Venting through the soffit
1.On a flat surface with a protective covering, assemble the vent system you will use (not provided) over the exhaust collar, but do not attach the vent system yet.
NOTE: The vent system can exhaust out the front of the soffit or be rotated to exhaust out the side or end of the soffit.
2.Measure distance “A” (from top of hood to centerline of 6" [15.2 cm] round vent). Mark the distance “A” on soffit.

3.Mark and cut a 6" (15.2 cm) round vent opening.
Venting through cabinet top
1.Mark the location where vent cover will be installed in the cabinet top and cut a 6" (15.2 cm) round vent opening for the vent cover.
IMPORTANT: Do not terminate exhaust into a dead air space such as an attic or enclosed soffit.

Prepare Location
■For vented installations, 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 vent fittings.
■Check that all the installation parts and the box with filters have been removed from the shipping carton.
Preparation
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install range. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1.If possible, disconnect power and/or gas supply and move freestanding or
2.Select a flat surface for assembling the hood. Cover that surface with a protective covering such as a blanket or cardboard during assembly.
