Electrical Requirements - Whirlpool GZ9736XSS Installation Instructions And Use And Care Manual

Venting Methods
This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or
wall.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent
through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
Rear discharge
A 90° 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, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating)
version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector. Fumes
and vapors are recycled through the top grille.

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

The following example falls within the maximum vent length of
35 ft (10.7 m).
1 - 90° elbow = 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
1 - wall cap = 0.0 ft (0.0 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
Length of system = 13.0 ft (3.9 m)

Electrical Requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz.,
AC only 15-amp fused, electrical supply (or circuit breaker) is
required. (A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.) It
is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
Set the grounded 3 prong outlet within the space covered by the
decorative flues.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
For all cord connected appliances:
The range hood 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. The range hood 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 use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the range hood is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the range hood.
