Installation Preparation
4
ADVANCE PLANNING
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.
For satisfactory performance, duct run should not
exceed 100 ft. equivalent length for any duct
configurations.
• Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct runs to the
outdoors.
CAUTION:
To reduce risk of fire 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.
PRUDENCE :
Il faut prendre soin
d’installer un conduit vers l’extérieur pour réduire le
risque d’incendie et pouvoir évacuer l’air correctement.
Il ne faut pas évacuer l’air correctement. Il ne faut pas
évacuer l’air dans l’espace entre les parois d’un mur,
un plafond ou un grenier, un espace sanitaire ou un
garage.
• Use metal ductwork only. These hoods must use
6” round duct. It can transition to 3-1/4” x 12”,
reducing the maximum equivalent duct length to
75 feet.
• Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the
exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any
transition needed in advance.
Wall Framing for Adequate Support
• This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural support
must be provided in all types of installations. The
hood must be secured to vertical studs in the wall,
or to a horizontal support. For wall mounting
installations, see pages 9 and 14. For under-cabinet
installations, see page 20.
• The vent hood and wall cabinet, if used, should be on
site before final framing and wall finishing. This will
also help to accurately locate the duct work and
electrical service.
POWER SUPPLY
IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)
WARNING:
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
ADVERTISSEMENT :
POUR DES RAISONS DE SÉCURITÉ, CET APPAREIL
DOIT ÊTRE CORRECTEMENT MIS À LA TERRE.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with
this appliance. Follow National electrical codes or
prevailing local codes and ordinances.
Electrical supply
These vent hoods must be supplied with 120V, 60Hz, and
connected to an individual, properly grounded branch
circuit, and protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker
or time delay fuse.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
• If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
• Route house wiring through conduit as close to the
installation location as possible, in the ceiling or
back wall.
• Use a conduit connector to secure the conduit to
the junction box.
• Connect the wiring to the house wiring in accordance
with local codes.
Grounding instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
WARNING:
The improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in doubt whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
ADVERTISSEMENT :
Le mauvais branchement du fil de mise à la terre peut
causer un choc électrique. En cas de doute, consulter
un électricien qualifié ou un technicien pour déterminer
si l’appareil est à la terre.
