LOCOTION TEQTICEMENTS

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Have a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. Canopy hood’s location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents. Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.

ELECTCICOL TEQNICEMENTE

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition), all local codes, and ordinances. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

• 1 Batterymarch Park

• Quincy, MA 02169-7471

• CSA International

• 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road

• Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

• 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only.

• If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:

  • Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.
  • Connect the aluminum wiring to the copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
    Follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure for the electrical connector. Aluminum/copper connection must conform to local codes and industry accepted wiring practice.

VEVTIEATIOT REQTIREMETTE

General requirements

• Range hoods must be ventilated to the outdoors, except for non-vented (recirculating) installations.
• Do not ventilate the range hood into an attic or other enclosed areas.
• Do not use 4″ (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• The length of the range hood and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide maximum performance.

For the most efficient and quiet operation

• Use no more than three 90-degree elbow.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24″ (61 cm) of straight duct between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
• Do not install two elbows together.
• Use clamps and tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
• The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.
• Use caulking to seal exterior walls or roof openings around the cap.
• The size of the vents should be uniform.

Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow. A thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.

Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems, when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from state to state. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Venting Method
To vent through a wall, a 90-degree elbow is needed. If exhaust ducting with a diameter of less than 5.91″ (150 mm) or if flat ducting is used, the noise level of the range hood could increase and extraction will be less efficient.

Rear Discharge
.A 90-degree elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.

For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, certain hoods can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, fitting a carbon filter at the motor. Fumes and vapors are the recycled through the top grille. DO NOT block the chimney holes.

Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for all vent pieces used in the system.

ITERTLLARIVR RIMETLIVR RECAMMLRRTRIVRL

For wall mount range hoods:

1. Countertop Height.
2. Hood height from ceiling to bottom of the range hood filter surface: D-A-C=B.
3. 24″ minimum from cooking surface up to 36″ maximum for Electric/Induction range tops. 26″ minimum from cooking surface up to 36″ maximum for Gas range tops.
4. Floor to ceiling height.

Venting options

1. Determine if your existing venting type is top venting or back venting, and ensure that the openings in the cabinet or wall for the damper and for power access are in appropriate locations and are of appropriate sizes, as per fig.1 if it is top venting orfig.2 if it is back venting, For top option in fig.1 you can see the round damper pre-installed you just need to open the a and b only. If you are using the rectangular damper, please remove the pre-installed round damper B and install the rectangular damper D.
2. If it is a new installation, choose the venting method of your need. Cut the opening for the damper and the power cable in the cabinet or wall depending on the direction of your choice .

Prior to installation
