WARNING!
Product specifications are subject to change without notification. Consult the installation instructions
before you begin installing this rangehood.
Custom Front Panel Dimensions
Make your ductrun as straight and
short as possible. The ductrun
should not exceed 35 equivalent feet
if ducted with the required minimum
of 6” round duct. Count 45º angles
as 3 feet, 90º elbows as 5 feet, and
90º flat elbows as 12 feet.
For best results, use no more
than three 90° elbows. Make sure
that there is a minimum of 24”
of straight duct between elbows
if more than one is used. Do not
install two elbows together. If you
must elbow right away, do it as
far away from the hood’s exhaust
opening as possible.
For more efficient airflow when
venting to the rear: Rotate the
Cristal HC blower housing so that
the 6” round exhaust outlet faces the
back, rather than running ductwork
up and elbowing back.

Important: Consult the installation instructions before you begin installing this rangehood.
Recirculating Installations
Some ductwork must
be installed to exhaust
the rangehood back
into the kitchen, either
at the top of the
cabinet or at the face
of the soffit. A plastic
vent grate supplied
with the rangehood
can be used to cover
the duct opening. This
duct work must not
terminate into a dead
air space.
