Three wire power supply must be used and the appliance wiring must be revised. See electrical requirements on page 1. DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps. Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Be sure a fresh air supply is available. Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire. Electrical ground is required on this Hood. If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other materials, DO NOT use for grounding. DO NOT ground to a gas pipe. DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the Hood is properly grounded. Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.

Two people are necessary for installation. 3. The hood is fitted with Screws and Drywall Anchors suitable for most surfaces. Consult a qualified installer. 4. Do not use flex ducting. 5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize the back flow of cold air and nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side (outside wall) of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house. 6. Local building codes may require the installation of a make-up air system. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area. 7. Hood installation height ...
