♦
Plug in and test controls (lights, fan) before installing.
♦
Allow 36-40” between the top of your cooking surface and the bottom of
hood
♦
Vent through a sidewall if you cannot vent directly above your range hood
♦
Vent with completely straight runs of pipe. If necessary, use as few elbows in
the venting as possible, with no more than 3 90-degree elbows. Every elbow in
the ducting reduces airflow and the vent hoods performance.
♦
Make sure there is at least 24” of straight vent between any elbows
♦
Use silver or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system
♦
Use caulking to seal exterior openings around the cap
♦
Always use metal or aluminum ducts for maximum airflow
♦
Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow
DO NOT:
♦
Terminate the vent system into an attic or other enclosed area
♦
Use 4” (10.2cm) laundry-type wall caps
♦
Use plastic ventin
g
♦
Use corrugated flexible ducting.
♦
Combine ducting (see below NOTE)
warning
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too
low could result in heat damage and fire hazard. Hoods mounted too high will be
hard to reach and will lose performance and efficiency.

instructions
Note: This model comes with two vent outlets each ready to accept 8” pipe. To ensure proper
performance, maintain the dual exhaust paths vs. combining into a single pipe. Combining
into a single pipe can create a competition between the two motors either creating poor
performance and/or one motor overtaking the other. As vented as described above, one
would require two vent caps with
damper and screen each having
a rating of 1000 CFM per
cap.
