Electrical Requirements and Installation Requirements

Power Requirements
IMPORTANT:
Please review all local area installation codes.
The customer is responsible for: Contacting a certified installer, checking that the electrical installation is
adequate and is in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70 (or latest edition *) or
CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.0-M91 (the latest edition **) of
the CSA, and all codes and ordinances in your area.
Per local codes, use a wire to separate the ground, it is recommended to check the path of the wire by
an electrician. Consult a qualified person if you are not sure whether hood is properly grounded or not.
Do not install a fuse in the neutral circuit or circuit ground.
Location of the electrical installation:
The cable must enter the rear wall at least 20 to 1/4 "above the height of the installation base, and
between 7-5/8" and 4-7/8" from the left side of the mid-line.
IMPORTANT
Keep these instructions to provide to the electrical inspector. The hood must be plugged directly into a
110-volt wall outlet.
Before installing the range hood
1. To ensure the most efficient ventilation performance, install the pipe in a straight line or with fewer
elbows.
CAUTION: The output of the vent pipe should be routed to outside.
2. Two people are recommended for installation.
3. Holding plate (mounting plate) can secure the hood to most walls and ceilings. Please consult to a
qualified installer to ensure that the plate provided is suitable for your type of wall or cabinet. It's
recommended that holding plate (mounting plate) needs to be anchoredto studs – Dry wall alone is not
strong enough to support range hood's weight. The center of a stud provides the best support for the
range hood.
4. In the case of an area with COLD WEATHER, install and check against extra-circulation to minimize the
cold air return and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperature in the
duct. The valve must be placed on the side of the cold air from the heat insulator. The insulation must be
placed as closed as possible to where the pipe enters the heated part of the house.
5. Air booster: For current design, air booster is not available to be connected to current range hood.
6. During the removal of the package:
CAUTION: Remove the cardboard carefully, please wear gloves to prevent getting hurt from sharp edges.
7. Your Thor Kitchen Range Hood needs strict requirement on Size of Venting Duct and the Clearance
between countertop to Range hood. Please read the two chapters below carefully. Thor won't be
responsible for any issues related to incorrect installation.
