Installing the hood
For the most eficient air flow exhaust, use a
straight run or as few elbows as possible.
Vent unit to outside of building and recirculating.
On avarage 2 to 3 hours are necessary to com-
plete installation (without considering cut to be
done on wall and or on cabinet, installation of
ducts , conduit and electrical connections to the
mains).
The hood is fitted with Screws and Drywall
Anchors suitable for most surfaces, consult a
Qualified Installer, check if they perfectly fit with
your cabinet/wall.
Do not use flex ducting.
COLD WEATHER installations should have an
additional backdraft damper that is already in
stalled backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic
thermal to minimize break to minimize conduction
of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork.
The damper should be on the cold air side of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to
where the ducting enters the heated portion of
the house.
Make up air: Local building codes may require
the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using
Ducted Ventilation Systems greater than specified
CFM of air movement.
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific
requirements in your area.
