Installation Guide

ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE Range Hood IS INSTALLED

MUST BE SEALED.

This Range Hood requires at least 24" of clearance between the bottom of the Range

Hood and the cooking surface or countertop. This hood has been approved by UL at this

distance from the cooktop.

This minimum clearance may be higher depending on local building codes. For gas cooktops

and combination ranges, a minimum of 30" is recommended and may be required.

Overhead cabinets on both sides of this unit must be a minimum of 18" above the cooking

surface or countertop. Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the

manufacturer before making any cutouts.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION The installation of this Range Hood must conform to the

Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly

Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280). See

Electrical Requirements"

• Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.

• DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.

• DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.

• Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.

• DO NOT obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a re.

WARNING

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either

through the wall or the roof.

The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to

provide efcient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install

two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking

to seal exterior wall or oor opening around the cap.

Flexible ductwork is not recommended. Flexible ductwork creates back pressure and air

turbulence that greatly reduces performance.

Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or oor for exhaust duct before making

cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut,

then a supporting frame must be constructed.

WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.

CAUTION - To reduce risk of re and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside

– Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces,

or garages.

Cold Weather installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air ow and a nonme-

tallic 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.

3. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other

hidden utilities.

4. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
