■

A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is 
required.

■

If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:

1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail 

leads.

2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of 

copper wire using special connectors and/or tools 
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended 
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with 
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

■

Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of 
the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate. 
The model/serial plate is located behind the filter on the rear 
wall of the range hood.

■

Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National 
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA 
Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and 
C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and 
ordinances.

■

It is recommended that the vent system be installed before 
range hood is installed. 

■

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance 
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

■

Check your ceiling height and the range hood height 
maximum before you select your range hood.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall.

3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place 

covering over that surface.

4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface. 

NOTE: The following instructions are for the backsplash without 
shelves. If you are installing the Backsplash with Shelves for Heat 
Lamps, follow the instructions included with that product. (See 
“Accessories” in the “Assistance or Service” section to order.) 

The hardware package supplied with the kit includes 4 plastic 
wall anchors and mounting screws.

■

The height of the backsplash will determine the height of the 
range hood.

NOTE: The minimum height of the range hood above the 
cooktop is 30" (76.2 cm). The backsplash can be extended 
from 19

²³⁄₃₂" (50.1 cm) to 39" (99.1 cm). As the 30" (76.2 cm) 

installation height increases, the range hood’s capture area 
decreases.

■

Determine height of the range hood.

■

Using 2 or more people, position the backsplash on the wall 
so that the top of the backsplash is at the height of the 
bottom edge of the range hood. Mark the location of the four 
corner holes. It is recommended that the backsplash be 
attached to the wall at all four corners. However, the lower 
flange can be secured between the wall and backspash, 
countertop or cabinet base without using the bottom corner 
screws. 

■

Drill 

⁵⁄₁₆" (8 mm) holes.

■

Push plastic wall anchors all the way into the holes.

■

Position the holes in the backsplash over the wall anchors 
and attach using the screws supplied.
