INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
A. Space Requirements
A typical installation can be seen in Figure 1. Study Figure 1 before proceeding. The shelf hood requires an opening that is 30” wide. It is recommended that the cabinet above the cooktop be a maximum of 15” high. This provides the adequate space btween the range cooktop and the shelf hood.
B. Electrical Requirements
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 20Ampere fused electrical supply is required (Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended). It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

IMPORTANT: WALL AND ROOF CAPS MUST HAVE BACK- DRAFT DAMPER.
NOTE: Ductwork, wall and roof caps not supplied with hood.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
3%” X 10 to ROUND (7” MIN. DIAMETER) THRU ROOF

INSTALLATION
1.Select the area for installation, making sure you have an electrical supply available. See the shaded area (Figure 5). This is the area the electrical supply must enter.
Before you begin, determine where the ductwork will run. For best performance, keep the length of ductwork and the number of elbows to a minimum.
Illustrated are some of the more common methods. (Figures 2,3. and 4).
IMPORTANT: THE VENTING SYSTEM MUST TERMINATE TO THE OUTSIDE. DO NOT TERMINATE THE VENT IN AN ATTIC OR OTHER ENCLOSED SPACE. THIS MAY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD.

CAUTION: Due to the amount of weight the shelf hood mUSt support, make sure the hood is mounted to two vertical 2x4 wall studs with the four lag bolts and into the wall covering (I/Z” sheet rock minimum) with the four anchor bolts. Lag bolts and anchor bolts (eight in all) are supplied in the Inslal- lation Assembly.
2.If the shelf hood is mounted to a wall that does NOT meet
the above recommendations, the weight of the microwave oven may cause the hood to pull away from the wall resulting in personal injury or property damage.
3.Mark a line on the back wall 15” down from the upper cabinets centered between the side cabinets or the allotted space. Use a level. (Figure 5).
