Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors and strong heating vents.

Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.

It is recommended that the hood be fastened into solid wood. If
fastening into drywall or other material, wall anchors or screws
with toggle nuts (purchased separately) must be used.

This hood is factory set for non-venting (recirculating)
installations. For vented installations see “Installation Instructions”
section.

If this hood will be used as a non-vented installation you will also
need to purchase a 30" (76.2 cm) Filter Kit, No. 4396291 or
36" (91.4 cm) Filter Kit, No. 4396292 from your dealer.

All openings in ceiling and wall where the hood will be installed
must be sealed.

In U.S. only: For power cord connected installations, a UL-listed
range hood cord-connection kit (part no. 99524057) must be
used. Cord kit has not been evaluated for use in Canada.
