Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent
feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
Example vent system
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Electrical Requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
cooktop is properly grounded.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
