Use the shortest most direct ductwork
route possible. Only use metal ducting
- plastic ducting is generally not permit-
ted by code. Do not use flexible metal
ducting as the ridges of the ducting cau-
se severe air turbulence and will signifi-
cantly reduce the efficiency of any hood
-THIS TYPE OF DUCTING WILL REDUCE
EFFICIENCY BY 50%.
Vent hoods may interrupt the proper
flow of exhaust gases from fire-places,
gas furnaces and gas water heaters. To
minimize the risk of drawing these lethal
gases back into the home please follow
the heating equipment manufacturers
safety standards and guidelines. Refer to
NFPA and ASHRAE for additional infor-
mation.
DUCTING
If vented externally, 6” / 150mm round
ducting must be available for the hood
through the ceiling, in line with the cen-
tral vertical axis of the range hood.
This unit must have it’s own ductwork.
Do not under any circumstances vent this
unit into any other ductwork or exhaust
ducting in the building.
Furthermore, please read carefully all of
the following installation instructions.
- Use an exhausting pipe whose maxi-
mum length does not exceed 5 meters.
- Limit the no. of elbows in the piping,
since each elbow reduces the air capaci-
tyof 1 linear meter. (Ex.: if you use no. 2
x 90 ° elbows, the length of piping must
not exceed 3 meters).
- Avoid abrupt direction changes.
- Use a 6”/8” constant diameter pipe for
the whole length.
- Use piping approved by standards in
force.
