B. Electrical Requirements
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 20 Ampere 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.
C. Venting Requirements
For vented installations, the venting system must terminate to the outside.
CAUTION: Do not terminate the vent in an attic or other enclosed space. This type of installation may result in a fire.
If a vertical venting system is used, using 3%” x 10” duct, the maximum length allowed is 25 feet. If elbows are used in the venting system, reduce the length of 3%” by 10” duct by 24 feet for each elbow used.
The Microshelf Hood may be centered horizontally as shown in Figure 2. The maximum length of duct run horizontally, using one 3%” x 10” elbow, is one foot
