Installation Installation
Minimum mount height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 2
8 ”
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
36”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
result in heat damage and fi re hazard; while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
lose its performance and effi ciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
Always check your
local codes for any differences.
DUCTING
A minimum of 6” round or 3-1/4” x10” rectangular

duct must be used to maintain maximum air flow
efficiency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ducts could restrict air fl ow by up to 50%.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or
transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6”
to 7 ” or 8” .
If turns or transitions are required; install as far
away from opening and as far apart, between 2,
as possible.
