PLAN THE DUCTWORK
The Cristal 24" slideout rangehood is designed to offer wide flexibility of installations.
The rangehood can be ducted vertically through a 6" round vent. The unit can also
be installed in a recirculating configuration. The unit comes standard in the top
venting position.
FIGURES 1
shows vertical installations for this unit.
FIGURE
2
shows recirculating installation.
The Cristal 24" requires 6" round ductwork. To ensure that the blower performs
to its highest possible capacity, ductwork should be as short and straight as
possilbe.
RECIRCULATING INSTALLATIONS
For recirculating installations
(FIGURE 2)
,
Charcoal Filters
are necessary. Remove the two grease filters and set aside. Attach
one charcoal filter to each end of the blower. Each charcoal filter attaches to the black grid on the side of the blower. Rotate
the filter clockwise to install and counterclockwise to remove
(FIGURE 2A)
. Replace the two grease filters.
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
(FIGURE 2B)
supplied with the rangehood can be used to cover the duct opening. This duct work must not
terminate into a dead air space.

FIGURE 2
The ductrun should not exceed 35 feet if ducted with
the required minimum of 6" round duct. Calculate
the length of the ductwork by adding the equiva-
lent feet in
FIGURE A
for each piece of duct in
the system An example is given in
FIGURE B
.
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.
