IMPORTANT!
•
If long duct run is needed, increase the duct
size from 6" to 7" or 8" to 9".
•
If a reducer is needed, use a long reducer
instead of a pancake reducer and install it as
far away from the range hood as possible.
Reducing the duct size will restrict and
decrease the speed of the airflow and hense
lower the range hood's performance.
•
If transitions or turns are needed, install them
as far away from the range hood as possible
and keep the distance between the 2 as far
apart as possible.
•
The minimum mounting height should be no
less than 24" and the maximum mounting
height should be no more than 30".
•
Also refer to the owner's manual of the stove
top for the height clearance requirement and
the recommended mounting height above the
range.
Note
•
It is important to install the range hood at the
proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low
could result in heat damage and fire hazard while
hoods mounted too high will be out of reach and
hense reduce its performance and efficiency.
Minimum Duct Size:
•
Round: 6" minimum.
•
Rectangular: 3-1/4" x 10" minimum.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer's responsibility:
•
To contact a qualified electrical installer;
•
To ensure that the electrical installation is
in compliance with applicable codes and
standards.
Electrical Requirements:
•
A 120V, 60Hz., AC only, 3A fused electrical
circuit is required.
•
Wire sizes and connections must conform with
the power rating of the range hood and all
applicable codes and standards.
•
DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.
•
The 3-prong outlet should be grounded. If the
power cord plug is not used, the power cord's
green wire should be connected to ground.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure that the range hood is properly grounded.
•
DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
•
The range hood must be connected with
copper wire/plug only.
•
The range hood should be connected directly
to the fused disconnect box (or circuit breaker)
through flexible armored or non-metallic
sheathed copper cable. ETL listed strain relief
must be provided at each end of the power
supply cable.
