1. INSTALL DUCTWORK AND ELECTRICAL WIRING
Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most
efficiently.
Install proper-sized ductwork, elbows and roof or wall cap.
Connect metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the
hood location. Use 2” metal foil duct tape to seal duct joints.
Run 3-wire power supply cable to installation location.
For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of
the hood must be located at a minimum distance of 36”
above cooking surface.
