INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

(DUCTED HOODS ONLY)

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only

metal ductwork.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between

the hood and the outside.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood

to perform most efficiently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will

reduce the performance of the hood. Use

as few of them as possible. Larger ducting

may be required for best performance with

longer duct runs.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round

metal ductwork to cap and work back to-

wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal

the joints between ductwork sections.

WIRING

Note: This range hood must be properly

grounded. The unit should be installed by a

qualified electrician in accordance with all

applicable national and local electrical

codes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event

of an electrical short circuit, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing

an escape wire for the electric current. This

appliance is equipped with a cord having a

grounding wire with a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into an outlet that is

properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely

understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

Set the electrical power supply within the space covered by the decorative flues.
Position the power socket at a maximum distance of 33-7/16” (85 cm) from where the

lead exits from the hood (see illustration alongside). Make sure this does not inter-

fere with the bracket fastening area or with the decorative flue (where the flue touches

the wall).
Fit the plug into the power socket.
