BCSM1 Residential Range Hoods
Product Information
The Broan, NuTone, and Venmar branded residential range hoods listed below can be installed to meet Sections 308 and 309 of ADA Guidelines when used with appropriately mounted controls:
- Broan: BCSM1, BCSQ1, BKSM1, CKSL1, and CRDE1
- NuTone: NRSL1
- Venmar Bistro: VBND1
To facilitate an ADA Compliant installation, the range hood should be wired to operate from a dedicated, standard electrical wall switch. The user manual provides wiring instructions for a two-rocker switch control.
Product Usage Instructions
- Before proceeding, switch power off at service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
- Remove the filters from the hood and set them aside.
- Remove the wiring cover retaining screw and slide out the wiring cover from the hood. Set aside with its screw.
- Using an 11/32” socket, remove the six nuts retaining the blower chamber to the hood assembly (two nuts on inner back and two other nuts per sides), then use a Phillips no. 2 screwdriver to remove both front corner screws. Pull out the blower chamber from the hood assembly and set it aside with its retaining screws and nuts.
- Unplug the blower connector from the main harness.
- Remove and set aside the four front screws retaining the bent plate to the hood.
- Fold back the bent plate to access control panel connections.
- Wire a two-rocker switch control as follows:
- Use a 14/3 cable to wire the switch to the range hood if the power cable enters the hood. Code requires both ends of WHITE wire insulation to be colored, so use a permanent marker to color both ends of the white wire.
- Use a 14/3 cable to wire the switch to the power source if the power cable enters the switch box. Code requires both ends of WHITE wire insulation to be colored, so use a permanent marker to color both ends of the white wire.
- Ensure that the wires are reliably routed away from the halogen lights (if present).
- Install a two-rocker switch at a convenient place for the user.
Note: All installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards. It is also recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves during installation.
Additional Information
Range Hoods meeting ADA Compliance
Broan, NuTone and Venmar branded residential range hoods can be installed to
comply with Sections 308 and 309 of ADA Guidelines, when used with
appropriately mounted controls installed at 15” to 48” above the floor and
control access should not require reaching over a cooking appliance. The
following range hoods can work in an ADA Compliant situation when the range
hood is wired to operate from a dedicated, standard electrical wall switch. To
facilitate this application, share the information on the following pages with
your electrician when preparing for the installation. THIS PROCEDURE APPLIES
TO THE RANGE HOOD SERIES LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
ADA HIGH VOLTAGE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SINGLE BLOWER RANGE HOODS WITH PUSH- BUTTON CONTROL
WARNING
For residential (domestic) installation only. Before proceeding, switch power off at service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards. Also, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
ACCESS TO RANGE HOOD CONTROL PANEL CONNECTIONS
NOTE: The illustrations in this procedure are generic; some hood details
may slightly differ from the hood you have on hand but the procedure itself
applies to all single blower range hoods listed in this document (see page 3).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
- Remove filters from the hood and set them aside. NOTE: Some models have only one filter.
- Remove the wiring cover (shaded part on illustration below) retaining screw. Slide out the wiring cover from the hood and set it aside with its screw.
- Unplug the blower connector from the main harness.
- Using a 11/32” socket, remove the 6 nuts retaining the blower chamber to the hood assembly (2 nuts on inner back and 2 other nuts per sides), then use a Phillips no. 2 screwdriver to remove both front corner screws. See picture below for nuts and screws locations. Pull out the blower chamber from the hood assembly and set it aside with its retaining screws and nuts.
- Remove and set aside the 4 front screws retaining the bent plate to the hood.
- Fold back the bent plate to access to control panel connections.
CAUTION
Use standard switches that are rated 120 VCA, 15 A. Only use wires suitable for at least 90oC (194oF). Ensure the wires are reliably routed away from the halogen lights (if present). According to your needs, there are 2 ways to wire a 2-rocker switch control to these range hoods: 120 VAC power cable entering the range hood or 120 VAC power cable entering the switch box.
120 VAC POWER CABLE ENTERING THE HOOD
Install a 2-rocker switch at a convenient place for the user. Use a 14/3 cable
to wire it to the range hood (see diagram at right).
NOTE: Code requires both ends of WHITE wire insulation to be colored; use
a permanent marker.
NOTE: Allow enough length of 14/3 cable to perform the RED wire
connection in the hood nose.
- Insert the 14/3 cable along with the 14/2 house wiring cable in the hood through an UL approved wire clamp, suitable for 2 cables. Add a GROUND wire and connect one end to the GREEN ground screw. Use an appropriate wire nut to connect the other end of the added GROUND wire with the ground wire coming from the 14/3 cable and the ground wire coming from 14/2 house wiring cable.
- Connect BLACK wire from house wiring to WHITE wire from 14/3 cable using an appropriate wire nut.
- Connect BLACK wire from 14/3 cable to BLACK wire from range hood wiring using an appropriate wire nut.
- Connect WHITE wire from house wiring to WHITE wire range hood wiring using an appropriate wire nut.
- Run RED wire from 14/3 cable through bend plate wiring opening for hood control connection. See next page for RED wire connection.
120 VAC POWER CABLE ENTERING THE SWITCH
Install a 2-rocker switch at a convenient place for the user. Feed the switch
box with 120 VAC house wiring and use a 14/3 cable to wire it to the range
hood (see diagram at right).
NOTE: Allow enough length of 14/3 cable to perform the RED wire connection in the hood nose.
- Insert the 14/3 cable in the hood through an UL approved wire clamp. Connect ground wire to the GREEN ground screw.
- Connect WHITE wire from 14/3 cable to WHITE wire from range hood wiring using an appropriate wire nut.
- Connect BLACK wire from 14/3 cable to BLACK wire from range hood wiring using an appropriate wire nut.
- Run RED wire from 14/3 cable through bend plate wiring opening for hood control connection. See next page for RED wire connection.
RED WIRE CONNECTION
NOTES:
- The push-button controls may have 6 wires OR 5 wires connected to the control board; the procedure below applies to both push-button control models since these 2 models have only one BLUE wire.
- To ease access to wires, disconnect the harness from the control board before performing steps A and B.
- A Cut the BLUE wire of the push button control harness.
- B Connect the RED wire from 14/3 cable to both ends of the BLUE wire, using an appropriate wire nut.
Once all the connections are done, finalize the installation by reversing steps 6 to 1 on first page.
NOTE: Be careful while reinstalling wiring cover to the hood.
CAUTION
Ensure both tabs on inner top of hood are engaged in their corresponding slots in wiring cover. Also, take care not to pinch wires while reinstalling wiring cover.
