■If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1.Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
2.Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
■Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial plate is located behind the filter on the rear wall of the hood.
■Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.
■Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
■Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.
1.Disconnect power.
2.Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall.
3.Select a flat surface for assembling the grill vent hood. Place covering over that surface.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install grill vent hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
4.Using 2 or more people, lift grill vent hood onto covered surface. Tip the hood on its back and remove filters and set aside.

C. Back edge of filter
2.Pivot the back edge of the filter towards the back of the grill vent hood.
3.Drop the front edge of the filter down and remove.
Wood Mounting Strip Installation
1.Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the grill vent hood will be installed.
Based on the ceiling or soffit height, determine the distance “X” (30" [76.2 cm] min, 36" [91.4 cm] max) needed between the cooking surface and the bottom of the grill vent hood. To this distance, add 15¹⁄₈" (43.8 cm) and draw a horizontal line
(A) about 24" (61.0 cm) long centered on the vertical centerline (B) at this distance for the wood mounting strip.

D. Vertical centerline E. Cooking surface
2.Locate and mark the wall studs along the horizontal line.
3.Center the 1” x 4” (2.5 x 10.2 cm) wood mounting strip above the horizontal line.
