IMPORTANT
We recommend that three people carry
out the installation.
Preparation
The vent hood should be on site before
final framing and wall finishing. This will
help to accurately locate the duct work and
electrical service.
Installation will be easier if the vent hood is
installed before the cooktop and
countertop are installed.
Ductwork and wiring locations:
Determine the exact location of the vent
hood.
Plan the route for venting exhaust to the
outdoors.
Use the shortest and straightest duct
route
possible.For satisfactory performance
duct run should not exceed 100'
equivalent length for any duct
configurations.
Refer to “ Ductwork installation
guidelines” chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct
runs to the outdoors (fig. ).
Ducting installation guidelines
For safety reasons when ducting outdoors
(not using a recirculation kit),ducting must
vent directly outdoors (not into an attic,
underneath the house, into the garage or
into any enclosed space).
Keep duct runs as short and straight as
possible.
Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce
air flow efficiency.
Back to back elbow and “S” turns give very
poor delivery and are not recommended.
Use a suitable 6” round duct.
Flexible metal round ducts should only be
used when no other duct fitting exists. limit
use to short lengths and do not crush when
making corners.
