Range Hood- 15 amp or 20 amp?

We are installing a new range hood and the manufacturer specs say it needs 15 amp dedicated circuit. Is it ok to put it on a 20 amp dedicated circuit instead? Will that be ok as far as code?

    The manufacturer's instructions supersede.

    You can always use #12 wire on a 15 amp circuit though.

    If it is a dedicated circuit, then this is just a breaker change.
