A.
A 115-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, fused
electrical supply is required. The total
ampere load used, including the range
hood, must not exceed 90% of the rated
capacity of the circuit. The ampere rating
of the range hood is located on the
model/serial number rating plate located
on the side cover of the blower motor
housing.
B.
The range hood must be
connected with copper wire only.
C.
The range hood can be
connected directly to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper
cable. A U.L.-listed strain relief must be
provided at each end of the power supply
cable. Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY) and
connections must conform with the rating
of the appliance as specified on the
model/serial rating plate.
For power cord connected installations, a

WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Installation work and electrical wiring must
be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable Codes and
Standards, including Fire Rated
Construction. Sufficient air is needed for
proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA),and the American Society of
Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,
do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.

materials and vapors.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
Never leave surface units unattended at
high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when cooking flaming foods.
