LOCATION PREPARATION
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons with a similar
qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit
due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Accumulated excess grease in old duct
work should be cleaned out or duct work should be replaced if necessary to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
Check all joints on duct work to ensure proper connection, and all joints should be properly taped.
Note 1: On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the protective plastic film from all exterior surfaces of the
hood and chimney prior to final installation.
Note 2: At least two people will be required to mount the hood.
MOUNT HEIGHTS & CLEARANCE
Ductwork can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Duct runs should be as short as possible.
Avoid the use of elbows.
Use duct tape at all joints.
Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
Minimum mounting height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 25”
Maximum mounting height should be no higher than
30”
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result
in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose
its performance and efficiency.
If available, also refer to the range manufacturer’s
height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range.
* Maximum ceiling clearance 106.5” at 27.5” hood
mounting height from stove (different models may
vary)
** For higher ceiling, extension of the chimney
extension and the decorative cover are available to
purchase, if required.
