Power supply for new kitchen hood vent
We're doing some work in the kitchen and I'm installing a new hood vent. I've got access to both 20A and 15A, but I don't know which I should run to the unit. It's a simple hood vent, Broan QML30WW. I've looked over the spec sheet and the installation guide, but they don't specify Amps.
I'm guessing 15A, but I want to be sure.

It draws 2A, so a 15A circuit should be more than enough. See Broan QML30WW Series Under Cabinet Range Hood, 30-Inch, White. Click on › See more product details.

If the unit is cord and plug connected it will need a dedicated circuit. If hardwired it can share a circuit with lighting.
It cannot be on one of the 20 amp countertop circuits.
