INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Range hood width
● ●
The range hood width is recommended to be no less than the width of the cooktop.
● ●
A wider range hood can be used to increase the capture area if space is not restricted.
● ●
The range hood should ideally be centered above the cooktop for proper performance.

WARNING!
● ●
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
● ●
Do not use flexible ducting.
This range hood can be installed using a wall
mounting system or be suspended under cabinetry.
Ducting can be configured for both vertical and
horizontal discharge. The ducting can terminate
either through the roof or wall. To vent through the
wall a 90° elbow is needed.
Height of the range hood
The installation height ranges from a minimum height of 30” (762mm) to a maximum
recommended height of 42” (1067mm). Consult the cooktop installation and user guide
for details of the required installation height of the range hood.
This range hood must be installed no lower than the
minimum height indicated in the table below. Minimum
installation height may be greater if required by the
cooktop manufacturer. Installation at the minimum
height will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking
odors, grease and smoke. Installation at the maximum
recommended height improves user ergonomics by
offering increased head room.
IMPORTANT!
● ●
Always switch your range hood on when you are cooking.
● ●
Using a powerful gas cooktop or multiple gas burners
operating at the same time can cause the range hood
surfaces to become hot, this effect can be reduced by:
– Using the maximum speed setting to enable hot
air to be extracted quickly.
– Installing the range hood at the maximum
recommended height. Consult the cooktop
installation and user guide for details on the
installation height of the range hood.
