model/serial rating plate is located inside the range hood on
the left wall.
Range hood 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.

a maximum total rating of 40,000 Btus or less.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See "Electrical

All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be
installed must be sealed.
These range hoods are factory set for vented installations.
