Vent Hood - Electrical Requirements and Breaker Size

The Owner's Manual or Installation Instructions for a vent hood will have the electrical requirements listed along with safety requirements for electrical usage. It is important to have the correct electrical supply for your vent hood.

Determining the Correct Electrical Requirement for a Microwave

The electrical and breaker size requirements for our vent hoods are as follows.

• A 120-volt individual, properly-grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.
• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
• For actual amperage of the hood, check the model's product features or look on the rating tag on the hood itself.
